TABASCO Sauce Celebrates 150 Years with Commemorative Bottle
McIlhenny Company, producers of TABASCO brand products, partnered with Ardagh Group (ardaghgroup.com) to introduce a 150th Anniversary bottle for the world’s most famous pepper sauce.
An American tradition since 1868, McIlhenny Co. has a rich history of packaging its TABASCO Sauce in glass containers. Founder Edmund McIlhenny initially used discarded cologne bottles to distribute his TABASCO Sauce to family and friends, before purchasing them from a local glass supplier in 1868 when he started selling to the public. Over the last 150 years, nine bottle variations have been developed with embossments showcased on the bottom of the bottle.
