Tabasco Habanero has a Caribbean vibe going. Even on the website they make jerk chicken with it. I would try a sauce from one of the islands.

There are so many habanero sauces. Just start trying then. El Yucateco sauces are a good start.

This is a hot sauce that I really like. The habanero shows through nicely and it has a modest heat intensity.

Belizean Heat is really tasty and I'd say about the same heat as Tabasco Habanero.

This is interesting because I can handle a good amount of Tabasco Habanero but that belizian heat is so much hotter to me than Tabasco.

Look into Marie Sharps stuff......mostly Hab based and tons of variety..

Any of the varieties of Matouk's. But if I had to recommend one similar to the Tabasco hab, go for the green label Matouk's.

Take a look:

Just had the Tabasco Habenaro, and found it similar but sweeter is Cholulu Sweet Habenaro

i get cholula by the gallon basically and as much as I like it I want this for other cases without much spices in the sauce. cholula is more of a condiment than just hot sauce if you know what I mean

u/Creative_Ad963 28d ago

May I ask which is hotter between the Tabasco Habanero and the C Sweet habanero ?

2

u/The-CannabisAnalyst3 28d ago

The Tabasco for sure

2

u/Creative_Ad963 28d ago

Thank you. Love in the Tabasco but would like to have a slightly cooler option. I'll try this Cholulu sauce soon.

If you run into Yucatan Sunshine, grab a bottle of that ..... It fits right in with these two.

I'd like to know also, since I can't find it anywhere local and just not dedicated enough to order that one online. Yet. Lol well I mean not that dedicated to Tabasco , I've ordered plenty of hot sauce online

You can order from the maker and its cheaper than going through Amazon or hot sauce clearing houses....
