Tasted it full on and then also with some Greek Souvlaki beef. I can taste a definite difference between the standard sauce vs the Reserve. If you are just looking for heat, don't bother. This is much what you would consider the Premier league of Tobasco sauces. Flavor over heat

Very, very good. Fantastic blend of the classic tabasco taste, extra barrel funk, and heat (compared to the original).
Regular tabasco is flavor over heat?
This is my favorite Tabasco by far.
It’s made from Tabasco peppers that are grown on Avery Island, is aged longer and I believe is made with white wine vinegar.
Yeah, it’s a slightly richer than the regular, a tiny bit more heat. Tabasco is not a very hot sauce, this adds a little more depth.
I love them both. Fuck, I love all the Tabasco sauces except for the Sircacha (it’s ok, I just like others better).
Try it on some battered fish and chips. Life changing!
I love it. It has more flavor.
I was disappointed. To me it just tasted like Tabasco with booze in it.
I find the flavor difference can be similar to the taste between white vinegar vs Apple Cider vinegar. Family Reserve goes soooo well with pulled pork!
Need to get some more sometime. Had 2 bottles before and it was great on Mac and Cheese. Definitely looked it better than the original which I still have a soft spot for my intro to the hot sauce game.
Tabasco is terrible to me.
I’ve never loved this one, but people here seem to really like it. Just tastes like tequila and Tabasco to me.
It could also be that I just love the OG Tabasco so much. So good.
It’s okay at best. You don’t notice much of a difference between it and the normal Tabasco. If anything it has a more pungent vinegar taste, and normal is already vinegary af!
It really shines in New England(white) clam chowder
Has the right amount of funk, love it
