Avery Island / McIlhenny Tabasco Sauce

[theantiquetiger]

The world's famous Tabasco sauce is made and bottled right here in Louisiana (about 1 1/2 hrs from my house) in a place called Avery Island. It is considered the second most recognized product in the world, next to Coca-Cola. I went down there today for one certain picture and was unable to get it. They have 1000's of wooden barrels stored in a warehouse, aging the sauce for three years. The warehouse is not open to the public (I didn't know that before I went). I decided to ask around to see if it was possible to get a picture in the warehouse. After talking to a couple people, they decided to let me do it. Come to find out, the warehouse was closed today. i was bummed. I posted a video below that has the warehouse, you will see why I want to get in there.
