Did a man named Maunsel White produce a pepper sauce prior to Edmund McIlhenny’s introduction of Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce?
Yes. However, it is untrue that Maunsel White’s sauce was advertised for sale as early as 1853, as some have claimed. In fact, White’s sauce was first advertised for sale, based on current information, in 1864 as “Maunsel White’s Concentrated Essence of Tobasco Pepper” – only four years before Edmund McIlhenny put his Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce on the market.
