Vinegar based hot sauces are basically immortal; I've had Tabasco that was like 10 years old before

Does it lose any of its hotness?

It separated out to half clear vinegar and half... Red

You had to shake it back together but if anything it was even hotter than usual. It was wild

I think heat typically intensifies over time: anecdotally, leftover hot food is always hotter a couple of days after it was freshly made
