i still have a few drops of what i believe was the 140th which was touted on the other board.
so ten years later and you have this. a little more expensive than the 140th iirc
Thanks for the heads up, Mark. I got 3 bottles. Sure loved the 140th edition, and that one sold out quickly. After they sold out at the store for $25, they came out for sale on ebay for $100.
Is it really that much better than regular tabasco?
the 140th certainly was
In for a quad pack !
I missed out on 140, but am in for 150 thanks to you!
Very grateful for your heads up!
Grabbed three to get the free shipping. Thanks for the heads up!
Pricing is a bit dear. I got a gallon of the regular Tabasco for just a bit more
the 140th certainly was[/quote
Thanks Mark. I’m going to try it.
In for 3
Has anyone tried their’s yet?
How does it compare to the 140th?
I would love to try this, but buying it feels like FOMO more than anything else. I am trying to do less FOMO.

It’s pretty good.
Not as vinegary as regular, a bit more complex on the pepper flavors.
There’s a kinship, but it’s clearly a step of from the regular sauce. Spicer, more layered and deep, tangy, and just better put together. I’m not sure it’s worth a 10Xish price for taste alone, but my 3 bottles should at least keep me with enough for a very long time… I don’t need 10, or 30.
Yes, it is a step up from the regular. A bit more complex. But I agree that I am not sure it is worth the premium price. I think if you are really into hot sauces, then it is probably worth it. I like hot sauces, but it is more of an accompaniment and less of a main focus for me in a dish. I guess I would rather spend the money on a good bottle of wine!

Scott…
As you no doubt have figured out, there is a 10 year waiting list for this, and how better to feel elite/superior than to own one bottle of this magical elixir.
Since I like you, you can cure your FOMO anxiety, and I will flip one of my rare, rare bottles your way for a steal of a price - $62.50 + shipping, ownership transfers upon shipping, yada, yada, yada.
You’re welcome

First, thanks mark for the heads up as I missed it last time. I’m with everyone else who says it definitely a notch up in flavor and complexity but probably not really worth $35 for more than curiosity. I don’t use the regular much as it’s thin on flavor and not hot enough, but do buy the habernero and like it quite a bit. I bought the scorpion with this order and it’s actually ridiculously hot, but maybe I can mix that into a gallon of the regular or something.
I tried mine on a cracker this morning. I agree that it’s hotter and more complex than the regular Tabasco, but not really worth the price. I’m still glad that I have my 2 bottles and am looking forward to trying it on other foods. I typically use Tabasco on eggs or anything that seems to need a bit of heat and a bit more salt. I see it as a condiment that happens to be spicy more than a hot sauce.

LOL, me too. I had some in my cart and then realized I was being stupid. It was a rare moment of clarity for me. I need to get K&L to customize their website so I have to click an “I understand this is stupid” box before I buy.
Now I’ve tried this on eggs and in a simple sauce for crabcakes. It was great for both applications, actually better than I expected after sampling it on a cracker. I’d buy it again.
