- The McIlhenny Company has made Tabasco sauce using the same recipe since 1868: red peppers, vinegar, and salt. Since the hot sauce is aged in bourbon barrels, it takes five years to fill just one bottle. And most of this process still happens where it all began: Avery Island, Louisiana. Six generations of McIlhennys have lived on the island. But with disappearing marshes and more intense storms along the coast, the family is fighting to protect their, and the hot sauce's, home.

How Tabasco Fills Up To 700,000 Hot Sauce Bottles A Day | Big Business | Insider Business
As a prior service Marine, Thank You Tabasco for making MREs tolerable.
it made the beef stew a five star meal
Couldn’t salvage the omelette
As a prior service Gamer, Thank You Tabasco for making my chips spicy.
I AGREE!!!
A military friend of mine gave me a bunch of mre to sample. Without the little bottle of Tabasco, I wouldn’t be able to get it down. It’s not that the food is terrible, it’s because everything is so bland.
Tabasco brand could be a whole study into Quality Control. You can get it ANYWHERE, from the largest super stores down to bodegas and even gas stations where I live. And somehow it ALWAYS tastes exactly the same. It's one thing if you think about say toothpaste, where everything is made with chemicals in sterilized environments, but Tabasco is using old school techniques and out sourcing their mash internationally, but somehow they deliver the same product to millions of people every single day.
Most sigma company lmao
But the factory looks unsanitary IMO. They aren't wearing gloves either.
@@wigglyk2796 Gloves for what?
It’s fermentation. You don’t need gloves for that. What they didn’t explain is that the mash is wine at some point before becoming a vinegar
@@wigglyk2796Gloves are worse for sanitation than bare hands. People working with food will wash their hands more than they change gloves there have been studies on this.
I really admire the family's commitment to maintaining their operation in Louisiana instead of moving all their production overseas which is what many other American companies have done.
And not selling out to corporate America, especially those scumbag private equity firms.
they are sending the peppers overseas to turn into paste and then ship back. That was a clear cost cutting move
Facts. That is very true and amazing. I hope some how they can stay weather permitting!! I also wonder just how much does it cost to ship that Tabasco sauce back to Louisiana from the farms? Then also to ship out? Must be expensive.
You know the import their peppers from overseas vs huy fong which sources domestic production
@@B3B3TTER the video says they ship the peppers from USA for processing. Might want to watch it in whole first
As a kid tabasco was not my favorite, but as a chef, tabasco is by far my favorite and I'll tell you why. Tabasco's taste is nothing but peppers, people say it's too much vinegar, but vinegar cooks out, salt does not. Tabasco has so little salt in it, that you can add it without screwing up the overall flavor of the dish.
Thank you very much for the professional tip.
interesting! how do you like to use it in cooking, what do you put it in?
Tastes like pure vinegar, what are you smoking?
@@TrolladinPlays Much of the vinegar taste goes away _after cooking_ .
@@uxleumas then it ends up tasting like nothing. You barely get a pepper taste from it. You’re better off using a puree/ferment for pepper flavor
2:58 White oak is very commonly used for barrels due to the presence of tyloses in the pores. These are growths of parenchyma cells which move into the vessels and help slow down/block water from moving through. This also helps with rot resistance and longevity of the wood. Basically it has clogged pores.
How do u know this? Thanks for sharing tho
Thanks have no idea why the guy got so hostile with the lady it's not like she was asking for him to change the formula or something and if it's a secret on why they use it I mean plenty of food videos where they go inside like this have the company saying it's a secret process no one said he didn't know what he was doing but nice some was able to just answer how the process work
fascinating! thx
@@HarryDickinson-xr7nu If you listen to his tone throughout the video, he was likely just being himself. And like with all things, if it ain't broke, he doesn't have to fix his tone for everyone to appreciate.
@@calvite100 or it's called professionalism it's a pretty reasonable question to ask why they use the oak barrels nobody said it was broke but we're simply asking if the oak did anything like this guy explained professionalism could have ended the question or just said company Secret but nobody said the process was broken
"I know it works, and we've been doing it for 150+ years, so I'm not changing it" .. Preach My dude.
If you ever get the opportunity to go check this place out, take it! they also have miles upon miles of hiking trails throughout their property and they even have a wildlife sanctuary. I grew up not 20 miles from this place and it is so beautiful, it'll take you back a bit. Its also in a very safe part of Louisiana with a TON to do!
I’m from northern MN and I just stayed at Cypremort this spring! We spent an afternoon on the trails and it was such a cool experience. I honestly liked that area quite a bit more than New Orleans. It was cool to see the city for an afternoon but the bayou was just amazing!
I'm from germany and we love Tabasco here! When I was in the military I always carried a bottle with me! Tabasco is a taste I don't wanna miss :)
Greetings from US
Das klassische taschen tabasco
Working as a dishwasher in my teens I remember my free breakfast burrito and trying it with Tabasco for the first time. Eggs, cheese and Tabasco.
Good combo, now do chicken noodle soup with Tabasco sauce (better than you would expect).
Don't forget the taters...
Tabasco Habanero is my staple in my household! I love that the recipe contains mangos, papayas, banana, tamarind - tropical fruits I grew up in the Philippines!
I agree Habanero Tabasco is my go to flavor as well.
Is it actually hot, though? Most things labeled as 'Habanero' are unfortunately not any hotter than regular hot sauce.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894I would say it's about twice as hot as original Tabasco
I'm also a big fan, and now I'll have to try it on vanilla ice cream!
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894Bro, its hot enough. The flavour of the habanero sauce is truly 1 of a kind and waaaaay better than the original or any other hot sauces ive had. If you haven't tried it already your missing out.
It would be interesting to see how the inclusion of Tabasco in military MREs helped spread the popularity around the world. I know we handed MREs out to locals while we were in Iraq.
Smart marketing. I believe many companies with products they supplied to the military found international success.
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 didn’t you hear. The Vatican gave up the wonderbread account. Perdu made a better offer. No the Lord’s Prayer is give us this day our daily chicken.
I love the minis so much. You can buy them separately in bulk as well and I really need to again.
Spread by warmongers 😂
No tobasco anymore. Packet of crystal in Corps MREs.
Very cool to see the pride this family has in their own product. Much respect for keeping this business in the family for so long. I hope every generation keeps the success of this company moving. Edmund McIlhenny would be very proud to see what his family has done. I've never had a bad bottle of Tobasco sauce.
Sometimes I like to shit myself
Hope the levy holds and the manufacturing plant is safe for years to come. 🙂
agreed its damn good hot sauce. i keep a bottle stocked.
Likely won’t unless we all put Tabasco on plant based products, only .
*levee. Fixed it for you.
It won't
unless people stop eating meat, dairy, and using plastic like crazy then it's certainly going away.
I'm a Tabasco fanatic. Love their history and their work ethics. Their Cayenne Garlic sauce is incredible.
I will never forget Beef Mongolian: C-ration Sliced Beef and Potatoes with Tabasco. Gourmet food in Vietnam, 1969.
Wait, $1 for a bottle in 19th century? That sounds like a lot.
Why do you think Spice is so sought after at that age?
@@Oneiroi0 I don't know. Why?
@@jeshkammaaaan, if you want your mind blown (sounds like you haven't done much reading/watching about it) look up the spice trade and the original journeys by the Portuguese to Asia to source said spices for God(the king).
@@SongokuJidai people didn't eat a ton of rancid meat it's a lie. At a certain point salt and spices were considered luxury goods because they basically enhanced food. Most people used to eat boiled everything because it was cheaper and filling.
If it smelled bad and looked bad most people probably didn't eat it.
@@SongokuJidai People didn't literally eat rotten meat. In fact fresh meat when it was available was often cheaper than salted meat because it would spoil fast. Spice was important for flavoring.
Tabasco's Scorpion Pepper sauce is my personal favorite. Instant heat, but not lingering. Goes well in sauces, grilled meats and pizza. Well done, Tabasco!
For and habanero that only 2 I like
Yess, thats what I have right now and I love it.
I'm not a big hot sauce person, but have you ever put Tabasco on a nice cheese pizza? OMG!
hi
Cannot imagine how heart healthy and low inflammation the employees are lol..
Hats off to the dedication of perfection Tabasco we love you.
I'd love to be able to buy that mash on its own 🤤
maybe you can try Harissa paste
Grow some not peppers. I've grown scotch bonnets and made not pepper jelly with it. Soooo good! I haven't ventured into fermented yet, but maybe one day.
Harissa uses a different type of chilli. Though it's said that the tabasco one origin is the Amazon, we don't know the exact name of it. Also, concerning the protection of the island, they must have thought about planting mangroves, but if so it isn't mentioned
Make vinegar
Cask-strength
I want to say that I love tobasco in my cup-a-soup railmen with a peanut butter sandwich. Peanut butter and tobasco is amazing. I haven’t tried the vanilla ice cream yet but I’m going to try it. My other fav is over- Ned eggs over rice and cheese for breakfast. I’m so glad my friend sent me this video. I’m going to pray for your Tabasco business. I feel you are good God-fearing ppl and I feel God wants to keep you going. Wow what a history and wow the best hot sauce in the world. I realize how much tobasco is my table condiment all year long. Sometimes I get 4 bottles so I don’t run out. I like the regular and my daughter love the smoked one. She always says: “Mom get my the Smokie plz?” You are definately a part of our household. God bless you!
what the heck is a cup-a-soup railmen. sheeeesh
I have 20 different hot sauces in my pantry, nothing too far of the charts heat wise, I like a bit of a kick and flavor, not destruction. I have always had several Tobsaso flavors in my rotation. It's what I started with decades ago. Great stuff!
Remember my friend what's a destruction for you, for me is just a little kick.
I don’t like hot sauce or spicy food but I love Tabasco. It doesn’t just blind you with spice it adds flavours on a whole other leve
Makes perfect sense that you'd start out that sentence with "I don’t like hot sauce or spicy food" because anyone who really does knows Tabasco for what it is: acidic piss with chilli flavour. You should try a hot sauce that doesn't list vinegar as its first ingredient. Odds are whichever you pick will taste much better and cost less.
@@NobbsAndVagene Oh so I guess you're one of those macho hot sauce nerds who has to challenge everyone he meets to a crying and sweating competition and pretends he likes pain but the pain and tears from the hot sauce are only masking the pain and tears of being unloved and hated by all.
There are far, far better tasting hot sauces, but you have to step up your heat tolerance a bit to enjoy most of them.
@@kevinf8439 Tabasco has been the best selling hot sauce for over 100 years for a reason dude
Mexican hot sauces are good too
Great work. Awesome to see hard good American food manufacturing. Proud of my folks.
Yes
from war mongers spread all over the world in a propaganda
@@mrk5216Yes
The habanero is the bomb, when you can find it. I always have a big bottle of the regular for splashing on burritos and tacos. Good stuff! 🌶️
tobacco on eggs has to be the single most tastiest flavor combination to have ever been paired together! imo😂
@@hardluckclub7271 dyam that nicotine on eggs combination was not expected
I go through a big bottle of Tabasco sauce every week. It's crazy I was just pouring it on heavy my two 3 meat pizza pops when this video came up on auto play. I love you Tabasco sauce!!!!!!!! I love you sooooo much!!!!!!!
We appreciate what you do, Nuk!
You guys forgot to mention that they still use the original fields and the plants are descendants from the original plants.
As for the whiskey barrels, stainless steel wasn't around in the 1850's
The reason why they use white oak is because it fills in the pores for moving nutrients when the center section of the tree grows, making it more water tight when compared to other trees (i think). Half as Interesting mentions this in their video "Why The US Navy Really Needs This One Forest in Indiana".
I live with this throughout my boarding school years!!! THANK YOUUU ❤
Been to Avery Island like 40 times and always love it
Finally a new Tabasco video.
Last one was awhile ago. I still remember the guy whose job it is to do a little taste test with all the barrels.
I respect when a big company stays in the family and keeps its traditions.
went to Avery Island to see McGIIhenny co. on a family trip in 1972 ... my dad really wanted to go there and we did! one of my clearer family memories - ...and the SMELL of the peppers growing in the endless fields
Ever since I was a kid, we had a bottle on the table.
Thanks for the video! I'd love to visit Avery Island someday; and hope the new levy will hold up. I do still love Tabasco (the original and especially Chipotle) even though I grow my own peppers and make my own sauce as a hobby. So many different peppers and combinations.
Growing my own and making my own hot sauce is probably my favorite hobby I’ve ever had. Nothing better than homemade fermented hot sauce!
I’ve been here before when I delivered (or picked up) a shipment.
It was the heat of summer, my AC was broken, and I waited for hours before they were finished with me.
It was like 100 degrees.
They did give me a nice basket of their different hot sauces, including flavors I’ve never seen in a store.
Tabasco OG is a staple🌶...but "habanero" & "Chipotle" is a game changer 🤙
This made me love the company, they’re awesome! Time to go buy some.
They were so close to home! I wish I could've met the Insider crew. If anyone finds themselves in the area the self-guided tour and Jungle Gardens is a nice stop.
I toured the Tabasco factory in the early 80's. The best part of the tour was the overpowering smell of peppers 🌶 and vinegar 😂
its justa medival portuguese piri piri hot sauce..stolen by usa warmongers and indsutrilized to all the world.
mix piri piris in a mixer until it its a fine paste, join half sppoon of salt let it in a bottle, let fermentation occur naturally, about 3 weeks, let the gas out time but dont let oxygen get in, open slowlya lrelasse the pressure a litle bit time to time,,
when you dont ahve more gas, let it statu for 3 moths,
mix well with 30% of vinegar,,
and filter everything, you ahve your tabbasco.
choose a good tasty vinegar. from wine --.the vinegar is the secret.
Great stories! As usual!! Thank you!
I love Tabasco, I used it on some of my dishes when I opened up a restobar more than a decade ago.
This brand is sold here in europe for decades love it even bought it as a kidd for hot snacks to have a nice hot spice saus
My favorite Tobasco is the cute minis and also the red garlic flavor one :3
Do they offer tours to the public? This is awesome and I'd love to see the process in real life if I ever make it there from Australia.
That would be nice, especially if they included little sample bottles of all their flavors.
Not only do they have factory tours but they have what they call the "Acadiana Culinary Experience" where you can taste that Mash if you want too. Book your ticket well in advance however because they do tend to sell out.
On a side note, it will require a rental car to get out to what is essentially a remote area in southern Louisiana and the roads can be absolutely terrible. Think washboard dirt road with tons of pot holes quality except its paved and the pot holes might or might not have been patched.
@@Jack-yl7cc I haven't heard of them selling out but you're not wrong about our roads lmao. The nearest airport is LFT(lafayette) but the New Orleans one might be cheaper due to being an international.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 they do! And ice cream lol
@memorymode4455 I like to tell people I don't need 4x4 to go off-roading, but rather, I need it to stay on the road! Of course, the old saying about not needing 4x4 if you instead have a rental with a running start applies.
This is an excellent post !!! Very interesting !!
This is OUTSTANDING and inspirational. WOW.
Big big hot sauce guy. Have about 100+. Even had to buy a separate fridge for them. Tobasco is the number 1 hot sauce. Its incredibly versatile and tastes good on just about anything.
If you guys have the opportunity to visit their facility I HIGHLY recommend you make it a stop on your trip. The museum and tour is done with such love and knowledge of everything Tabasco that it's a great bit of americana to explore. Careful though - the sting of Tabasco hangs in the air haha
Amazing product, loved by many here in sweden. Keep up the good work. :)
Tabasco brings back childhood memories of summer vacation road trips eating at little pit stop diners.
i enjoyed this way more than i thought i would. Im a hot sauce addict up to ridiculously hot sauces but tabasco really is the best tasting. I enjoyed a how its made on worchstershire sauce too.
What an incredible product & business they've created!
All that work, all that waiting on barrels, the entire supply chain, shipping to and from farms across the world, the factories bottling everything, and you can buy a delicious bottle at a grocery store for like $10. The free market is brilliant.
Much love bro, nice vid by the way =))
Ahhh..my favorite hot sauce for 60 years! Thanks 😊
i enjoy your sauce in the far north of England. i live in the cold near the north sea...
thank you for your great product
I just feel so blessed to be able to buy this at my supermarket. Crazy awesome.
Love Tabasco sauce. I try every new flavor they produce. My current favorite, aside from the original, is their Raspberry Chipoltle...it makes everything taste better. Amazing that Tabasco is the foundation of a global agricultural industry centered around producing the tiny Mexican "tabasco" pepper. Loved hearing about their efforts to save Avery Island. Nice little video on the company, their origins and their culture.
I absolutely love Tabasco. I've moved away from the original over the years and use the family reserve and scorpion versions now. I always keep a big bottle of the original on hand. It's the best all around hot sauce that you can genuinely put on almost any food. It's incredible for cooking as well.
It's unbelievable to me the time and work that goes into one bottle yet Tabasco is so inexpensive. All these craft hot sauce companies have popped up and they charge near 8 dollars for a bottle. Thank you Tabasco for doing it right!
craft stuff is expensive bc it's produced in small quantities. the amount of work that goes into one bottle would be a lot if they only made one bottle, but a barrel will make a lot more than one bottle, so it's not that much work for the amount of product they get out
I dunno where you guys live but Tabasco here is really expensive compared to much better hot sauces, at least if you're a heavy user. You get so little in a bottle of tabasco, and it's mostly just vinegar.
tabasco is so good on pan pizzas@@NobbsAndVagene
you're paying mostly for vinegar. There's a reason their mash goes so far and it isn't cuz they're putting a lot of chili into each bottle.
Please bury me with their Green Jalapeños Pepper Sauce! It’s great on scrambled eggs. This & Old Bay Seasoning…
Yes ! Underrated sauce ! Not spicy tho
@@JohnHausser but does have a wee kick to it. Thinking about scrambled eggs for lunch today now. The price for a 5 oz has skyrocketed ($11 bucks). TH-cam froze so didn’t get to see the end. Remember reading years ago every employee got a bottle each week with their paycheck. Probably some of thee healthiest people in da world, cause No germ/bacteria can live in that environment 😎.
6:13 Major props for that proper pronunciation of "habanero" !! Tabasco is an icon for a reason, even if it's a flex some folks don't like these days. It was one of the O.G. American hot sauces, one that I don't think I'll ever get tired of sprinkling on dishes that go well with its vinegary pepper spice. It's also low in sodium, at 35 mg/teaspoon!
So proud of our home grown Tabasco Brand. People here love our Tabasco and take pride in seeing it on the tables in Restaurants and our homes. In Louisiana it's like Ketchup.
Tabasco was in every chow hall I was in, you couldn't be without it especially for morning chow in the mess deck 🤣
The main priority for authority and leaders should be to support saving of Tabasco fields not just filling up their pockets.
They are a multi-generational family business, these types of businesses invest for the ultra-long term.
@@pmmm712011 ok
ive tried waaay over 200 diffrent sauces from all over the world.
tabasco is still king. go Louisiana!!!
As a Mexican whenever i travel to the U.S or European countries tabasco is always a lifesaver
Tapatio sabe mucho mejor que esta botellita de vinagre y agua.
Tapatio nomas para limones con pepinos y otras botanas.

@@sewaprolo Jajajajajajaja la valentina jajajajajajaj
Esa madre sabe a vinagre
Tabasco is still the best tasting hot sauce. Not too hot. Not too not. Adds great flavor, not just heat. It's the best one. The original Tabasco. Hope they don't change it. I love it on fried chicken. It's like magic.
Ever since I discovered the secret of putting tabasco in my noodles I've been a complete tabasco fan. Have bought and tasted every flavor and I just can't get enough of them. Habanero specifically is my personal favorite since it pares extremely well with sweet & sour chili sauce both put together in the noodles. Creates an amazing combination of sweet vinegary saltiness that I can't get enough of. Scorpion sauce is also amazing as a way to add even more heat if necessary without compromising too much on the flavor and I found it to also pair really well with chicken curry salad. The fruitiness of the scorpion sauce definitely adds to the mild curry taste alongside seriously amping up the heat if desired.

Tabasco is pretty much a huge essential when spicing up every meal you consume. The process is careful yet efficient, and does not falter in consistency.
Is this a AI generated comment?
@@UndeadKIRAit has to be I don't buy it any other way bro
vinegar with piri piri
And also, who are the absolute mingers upvoting it?
My favorite hot sauce. Nothing better than a hotel breakfast with Tabasco!
LOVE my Tabasco !! My hands down forever favorite !!
I personally hate tobasco on anything except maybe scrambies but putting it in MREs was a great idea. The high vinegar and salt content keep it edible for a long time. I've seen MREs decades old with the food in retort packages being dubious but the tobasco is still edible
thank you thank you,more like these
I love Tabasco that is a flavor that’s instilled in me since childhood my grandparents always had it and use it on everything
Big Oil is the reason why marshes and coastlines down South are evaporating. They remove the barriers and the Gulf just moves in and erosion/flooding take over.
TRUE
It’s a great product and the consistency with the product is amazing. It’s hard to scale something that large are keep the product standards as consistent as Tabasco has.
It’s extremely easy to replicate a bad flavor, over several generations. It’s mostly vinegar…with some peppers and salt. You can make it at home. Just remember…if it tastes really nasty and bitter…you nailed it.
@@Esteem_Boat_WillyNope Tobasco is the superior hot sauce.
@@RoverTheDog1 I bet you think Folgers is the best coffee, and Bounty are the best paper towels? Tide gets your clothes cleaner, eh? Hooked on marketing worked for you.
No way a thumb is talking😂@CrysPeaBacon
@@Esteem_Boat_Willy no body asked bro
Tabasco adds just the right amount of flavor in my cooking. Big fan of it.
Tabasco has been my go to hot sauce my entire life, its everywhere and its the best.
Tabasco IS SO DELICIOUS!!
Love me some Tabasco, classic hot sauce no other like it. Great on pizza, eggs, and just about anything else.
I’ll always buy Tabasco. Love the product and love the jobs it gives my fellow Americans
Iam a truck driver and i had a load about 2 months ago and it was great view . The personnel are great people
White oak is pretty much the only wood they used in North America to make barrels out of. Because of its tylosis it’s a almost water tight wood. Red oaks on the other hand are more porous, can hold any liquid.
all that came portuguese wine makers,, and other europeans wine makers,, the barrels were the only way to make fermatation cause in that time they hadsnt anythingg else,, like palstic or metal barrels. it gioves some taste of oak.
As a Veteran, thank you for making the little ones for the MREs. They really made them more edible.
I work making shave preps and soaps and it's fun watching this because I get to see other manufacturers using similar equipment and methods to the ones I use every day.
10% of that germany batch ended up on my plate. Thank you, Tabasco!
Not my favorite hot sauce but man I love it when it was in my MREs. I always had one in my spare grenade pouch. It makes MREs better and if you are tired on night guard you can put some on your finger and rub it on the rim of your eye lid. Gotta do what you gotta do
I thought I put hot sauce on everything...but ice cream? ...now I gotta try it.
They sell tabasco ice cream in their gift shop.
In the gift shop, they mix Tabasco with Coke syrup and you can have a drink of Tabasco Coca-Cola.
Cool! Thax guys
Beautiful information, A lot of works, God blessed.
🇺🇸🇺🇸Having traveled to more than 30 countries, its good to know that in most countries when you ask for a hot sauce at a restaurant they give you Tabasco and you feel proud to see a product made in the USA.
Unfortunately the bottle label does not say “Made in USA”. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hope they add that to the label since now it’s an international brand.
It says Avery Island, Louisiana. Everybody knows where Louisiana is.
@@cane870 If you have traveled overseas, you would realize that most people only have heard of states like California, New York, Texas and Florida in the USA.
it's not made in usa, just aged and then factory bottled there. the growing and handpicking of the peppers is a global effort. too much work goes into the farming of the actual product for them to confidently say they made the sauce.
Its more appriciated throughout the world than America. USA: Tobasco isn't great, too vinegary. Asia: @#$% yea we put vinegar on everything.
Did he say ice cream and hot sauce?! 😂 that’s interesting l might have to try that this summer.
In China they do a similar thing with a garlic and spicy chili sauce. Sweet and spicy is always a good combo
@@Verbose-ir7sf Everyone knows about that. I had some sweet garlic wings the other day from a Chinese spot. 😂 so good!
My grandparents helped raise me in NC and hot spicy food really was not part of my growing up. I remember my tasting Tabasco sauce and thought Wow, have I been missing out! I could now put Tabasco on eggs... PJ
Ooo, I wanna try the Tabasco hot sauce and ice cream combo that was mentioned.
i liked tabasco... but my tolerance for spicy has changed, today its not spicy at all, I started using a Bhut Jolokia sauce and its insane, only 2-3 drops and my mouth is on fire
I’m surprised they don’t sell limited edition, Louisiana grown exclusively bottles
At their gift shop they do have a "reserve" bottle
Thank you Nuk! Job well done, you are true craftsman. Side note….Stefan is pretty cute.
