As far as I know Tabasco is not in competition with Tabasco, don't really
know how they could be. As to the flavor, I could never understand the
negative reaction to vinegar on this list. I personally like vinegar and
have at least half a dozen varieties of vinegar in my cupboard. I don't
mind the taste in hot sauce, but as far as cayenne type hot sauces I prefer
Tapatio brand as it has better flavor, more heat and is half the price.
Tabasco has been making a habanero sauce for going on 5 years now, it is
actually finding an establishment that carries that variety that is
daunting. They also produce a chipotle sauce as well. Both the Chipotle
and habanero Tabasco sauces are surprisingly good, I've got bottles of each.
