Habanero peppers sit at the top of the range among true culinary peppers — 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville heat units (SHU). Above that you get into the world of super-hots which are too much heat for most except (except you extreme eaters out there!) If you want to try this unique hot sauce, you can likely find it in the grocery store next to Tabasco original. You can also get it online here for a bit of a markup.

Tabasco was very smart with this coloration as it does provide a warning, too. This is not your everyday Tabasco and don’t mistake it for it. You’ll be more than surprised by the heat here. It’s been called the new “King of Sting”, because it’ll sting ya nice and good if you’re not careful.

This makes the sauce about 8-10x hotter than Tabasco’s Original sauce.

In terms of heat balance, this isn’t the kind of sauce that’s just hot for the sake of being hot; as mentioned, it has a ton of flavor. And the balance is about just right. Usability What’s most surprising is the use of guava and pineapple as the main accenting flavors. This gives Tabasco scorpion an interesting twist. But guess what? It works. If you’re concerned about salt-intake, careful here. Tabasco Scorpion has 190 mg of sodium, which is about 8% of your daily intake. Regular Tabasco is only 2%, so it’s a big difference. That said, you don’t really notice it tasting too salty over the intense heat here. Collectibility This exclusive hot sauce was once reserved for only the McIlhenny family and close friends, but now you can enjoy this flavor any time! TABASCO ® Family Reserve Sauce is made from special, hand-selected peppers and Avery Island salt. The unique pepper mash is aged for up to eight years in white oak barrels–much longer than the three-year aging process for TABASCO ® Original Red Sauce–and blended with white wine vinegar.

Scoville Scale

Let’s start with the ingredient list as there are many big clues to how this hot sauce performs: Distilled vinegar, habanero pepper, cane sugar, TABASCO brand pepper sauce (distilled vinegar, red pepper, salt), salt, mango purée, dehydrated onion, banana purée, tomato paste, tamarind purée, papaya purée, spices, garlic, TABASCO pepper mash (aged pepper, salt). Since Tabasco Original Red Sauce is in the mix, anywhere you’d use the original you could give Tabasco Scorpion a go. Though it’s a little sweeter than a typical Louisiana-style hot sauce, so keep that sweetness in mind. It’s an excellent choice for sweeter dishes where Tabasco Original may have been too vinegar-forward to play. I added it to pineapple sorbet, and it changed the eating experience completely (in a good way.) People don’t expect this level of heat from Tabasco, so it makes an excellent conversation starter. It carries a legend’s name, but with surprise inside! It’s sort of the needed addition to the Tabasco line to give it street-cred with the real hot sauce heat-seekers out there. If you’re a Tabasco super-fan, Tabasco Habanero Sauce certainly is necessary for your collection. But, really, as mentioned, the brand is more known for being those daily drivers you can’t live without. This sauce doesn’t have the same collectible cache as Tabasco Scorpion Sauce, with its surprise take on a super-hot to a line that tends to focus more on a broad user-base.

It seems like everyone is talking about it these days! Some people believe that their favorite hot sauce is the newest trending sauce, while others say that their favorite hot sauce is a classic. But which sauce is really the 2 hottest in the world? Is 30 000 Scoville hot? TABASCO ® SWEET & Spicy is our mildest hot sauce offering, and it’s great as a dip, a glaze for grilling meats or a base ingredient in a salad dressing. Of course, it’s also fantastic splashed on top of your favorite foods. Our TABASCO ® Raspberry Chipotle Sauce is blended with a vibrant raspberry puree to make a sweet and smoky hot sauce that goes great with beef, fish or fowl. It is also a fantastic vinaigrette ingredient for salads! That’s pretty long compared to the three-ingredient Original Red Sauce. In fact, it’s a lot like how they approached Tabasco Scorpion, with a selection of tropical fruit purées and spices — like a Jamaican-style hot sauce. Those, with that extra pepper mash, changes the mouth feel of Tabasco Habanero Sauce right from the start. For those who like to use about 10 dashes of regular Tabasco on one bite, an equivalency here is like a drop. This builds to a point where you’ll have to stop if you don’t want to be rushing for milk, versus regular Tabasco where you can go all day. Usability

Types of Hot Sauce

One of the first questions you may have about Tabasco scorpion hot sauce is, “how hot is it?” This being the spiciest sauce they make, how far above the original sauce does it land? Tabasco Habanero is still a relatively thin sauce, so the stopper helps control how much heat you’re adding. That said, you can get a few good dashes in before you really start sweating things out. Collectibility Limit one (1) TABASCO® Scorpion Sauce per eligible participant. The Promotion is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and Washington, D.C., who are physically located and residing therein (excluding Guam, Puerto Rico and all other U.S. territories and possessions). Each participant must be at least thirteen (13) years of age at the time of entry. Minors must have consent from their parent or legal guardian to participate. The onion in the sauce also brings a nice earthy zing. And thankfully the cane sugar doesn’t come on too strong — it adds just enough sweetness to level off the heat and it’s not too distracting.
