The
godfathers say this:
What is the shelf life of TABASCO®?
TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce has a shelf life of 5 years when stored in a cool, dry place.
Well, this isn't exactly the answer sought by vsp, so I sent an e-mail to them. It follows below. Hopefully I'll hear from them in a few days.
To whom it may concern:
First off, I wanted to say how much I love Tabasco sauce. It's quite possibly one of the greatest foods ever created.
I read your FAQ list; however, there is one question to which I could not find the answer. While you say Tabasco has a shelf life of 5 years, should it be refrigerated once opened? Does this help give it that 5 year shelf life, or does it simply need to be left in a "cool dry place," regardless of refrigeration?
Thank you,

I'll post the reply once I get it.
