TABASCO Chipotle Pepper Sauce 64 oz.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this half gallon of chipotle Tabasco sauce, as they seem to only sell five ounce bottles in physical grocery stores. In Pennsylvania, these small bottles usually cost about $3 a pop, which is expensive to me considering they don't last very long between my girlfriend and me. In total, I paid about $28 for this jug including the shipping (the $8 in shipping fee is a bit high to me) which works out to be at least a $10 savings in the long run, not to mention the time saves in grocery trips. If you've never tried the chipotle version of Tabasco, I highly recommend trying it, unless you just plain don't like hot sauce. This variety is quite different than the standard Tabasco; it tones down the heat quite a bit, while increasing the flavor in its place. Because of this, you will likely want to apply more of this chipotle sauce to a dish than you would regular Tabasco. After trying this for the first time a few years ago, it managed to shoot to the top of not only my hot sauce list but my girlfriend's as well. It seems to go good on just about anything I've tried it on; definitely Mexican, eggs and cooked veggies but surprisingly well with meats too. I even enjoy a touch of it as a steak sauce to spice things up a bit. In summary, I highly recommend just about anyone try this sauce (start out with either the five ounce bottles sold in stores or at a Chipotle restaurant) and if you find yourself in the same boat as myself and the other reviewers on this list, this half gallon jug is a no brainer. It actually saves you money and should keep for a reasonable amount of time in your pantry.

We have been using this product for quite awhile and we love it. It tastes excellent on any meat. It's an excellent blend which maintains the traditional Tabasco flavor, but not overpowering with HEAT. This is our second 1\2 gallon jug after using many bottles of it before we found out about the 1\2 to 1 gallon jugs. This way, we don't have to worry about running out as quickly. I'm telling you, we really EAT this stuff. I'm telling you guys and gals, this stuff is awesome. Don't just take my word for it. If you haven't already, try it for yourself. Best I or we've ever tried. No, this is not an AD for them, and trust me, we get nothing in return for it. Just being as honest as one can be. Get you some.

The flavor is far above and beyond good. A hint of smokiness and just the right amount of heat.

This is my favorite Tabasco sauce, I use it on almost everything. So I was very glad to learn that I could buy this large jug, and refill bottles I have at home. It's saved me countless hours of going to a store every few weeks for another small bottle. For those who have not yet tried this sauce, it has a smoky depth to it not found in regular Tabasco, albeit with less heat. So I supplement with a couple drops of Tabasco's Scorpion sauce to kick it up a notch. the two together are a perfect combination for me.

If you just want to add pure heat to your food, then use the standard Tabasco. If you want a nice smoky flavour as well, then this chipotle tabasco is the one for you. I use tabasco in serious quantities, and buying it half a gallon at a time saves a SERIOUS amount of money over buying the small bottles in the store. It seems to keep just fine in the fridge, my previous bottle is at least a year old.
