5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the tastiest of the tobascos January 8, 2010

By Russell J. Mirabelli

Living in Tejas, we love our spicy southwest foods. A bottle of hot sauce is never far from hand at meal time. One of my favorites is the Chipotle tobasco sauce.

Only slightly ironically, I first sampled Chipotle tobasco at a Chipotle's restaurant several years ago. I was instantly hooked. Regular tobasco adds a lot of heat to any meal, but relatively little enjoyable flavor. Not so with this little bottle.

The chipotle tobasco is all about the wonderful smoky flavor, with only a relatively small level of heat and unpleasantness. My sons (both under 10) even enjoy its flavor, not finding it too harsh or pungent.

If all you're interested in is showing off your manliness by eating outrageous sauces, then pass this bottle by. If you're interested in making simple meals a little more exciting, then this is the condiment for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tabasco Original vs. Tabasco Chipotle: a fair comparison February 9, 2012

By Arthur Compton

First, let me say that while I consider myself a journeyman hot sauce eater, I have never been a fan of regular Tabasco sauce. Regular Tabasco is, as the name suggests, made with ground tabasco chilis soaked in vinegar and the result is a very simple but lousy sauce: salty and with a strong, instant, biting burn and no flavor to speak of other than vinegar. I ate it in my Army MRE rations because it came with every meal. It can be used to add necessary heat to heavily flavored dishes when nothing else is available, but the flavor frankly sucks and given better options, I'd sooner eat my pizza plain than ruin it with that crap.

Tabasco Chipotle is made with smoked jalapenos (chipotles) and is a lot thicker than regular Tabasco. It has an excellent smoky flavor and not a lot of heat, but just enough to let you know it's there. An important point is that the burn isn't progressive and never overwhelms your mouth; regular Tabasco has a cumulative burn and a definite point at which the intensity of the burn completely negates your ability or desire to eat more. That never happens with Tabasco Chipotle, so it's great for pouring and dipping when you're actually looking for flavor. I eat probably a bottle of this stuff a week and it's good to eat on just about everything and also makes an awesome meat marinade. Mix it with mayonnaise, you've got chipotle mayo.

A better comparison in terms of heat might be between this and the cayenne-based red pepper sauces (Frank's Red Hot, Crystal, Texas Pete, etc.) This isn't a nose-hair scorcher and it respects your taste buds and tries to work with your food instead of taking over and dominating. A lot of people seem to think that hot sauce is about pushing your pain threshold to the limit, but in my experience you're either in it primarily for the flavor or primarily for the pain. This sauce definitely falls on the more flavorful side of hot sauces, and I strongly recommend you try it if you've never tried chipotle sauces before.

EDIT: Also worth mentioning that Tabasco Chipotle is superior to the other two major label chipotle hot sauces available now, El Yucateco Chipotle (way too sweet, even less heat) and Texas Pete Chipotle (straight skunky). I bought a bottle of each for comparison purposes and forgot about them until I ran out of TC. I couldn't stomach either one, even in a pinch. There's just no comparison.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mild, but Has Great Flavor January 30, 2012

By Henry Pinney

I use up this sauce quickly. It's among my favorite hot sauces, but as others have mentioned, it's not very hot. I love this sauce so much I bought a half gallon of it--I go through this sauce quickly. The first thing I do when I open or refill a bottle of Tabasco Chipotle sauce, is add 1-2 teaspoons of a much hotter hot sauce, like Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce (has a BBQ-like flavor), Dave's Ultimate Insanity Hot Sauce, or Dave's Ghost Pepper Naga Jolokia Hot Sauce, then I shake up the bottle and I have a great tasting hot sauce that's adequately hot, but not too hot that it has to be diluted.
