It's literally part of the intended flavor.

Except no matter where it is in the ingredient list it overpowers the sauce.
Glad you like it, I don't.
For me and many the taste of the non-vinegar ones are just better. Rare to find, but better.
EDIT: I can take it when it's not in the top 3 or 4 but some even then it's just too strong.

How can it "overpower the sauce" when it's literally central to the flavor profile?

My favorite teams
First off - What's up Desp!?!? I find it amazing that we have yet to argue since the mass unban has happened. This makes me sad
Secondly - Are you wanting heat or flavor? Like others have said Tapatio is good, not a crazy amount of heat (IMO) great flavor and easily accessible as most grocers carry it. Same with Sriracha decent heat, great flavor easy to find (even the generic stuff is decent). If you want heat, Dave's Gourment Insanity Sauce is good...won't kill you with the heat but will clear out your sinuses and flavor is very good

Perhaps I have an ability to detect it more than other things. I don't know.
but the #1 ingredient in a hot sauce should be what's first in the profile for me.

I'm boiling chicken leg quarters in apple cider vinegar here shortly, only for 10 minute boil. Love that vinegar taste, then im going to smoke them for about 30 minutes. I just so love that vinegar taste. Ok carry on

Must make it simple to be dogmatic about everything in life, from bacon to vinegar in hot sauces.

Vinegar is listed third in Tabasco. Guess which one is first?

And there's nothing wrong with folks that do.
Just like there is nothing wrong with ketchup on a hot dog. Just don't call it a Chicago Dog.
I don't like vinegar. Most folks I associate with make homemade and ithey have none.

And yet the vinegar is overpowering. Tells me something at least.

I'll admit, I prefer hot sauces with a less vinegary profile also

I don't like garlic or light smoke flavor in hotdogs, it overpowers the hotdog flavor.

I hate white wine in dijon, it overpowers the mustard seed flavor.
