Tabasco is not just one sauce. These days, there are green, sriracha and scorpion versions, among others. But the fanciest one on the list has just been introduced to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the McIlhenny Company, the producer based on Avery Island, La. Bottled with gold foil and packed in a box to suggest Champagne, it is made from specially selected peppers that are mashed with salt and aged for up to 15 years instead of the usual three, then mixed with sparkling wine vinegar, not the garden variety.
