# Macanudo Emissary España Review #30

It started very strong with some great spice on the retro. Lots of charred oak and leather in the beginning. Retro Vegas with pink peppercorns and then transitioned to more of a cinnamon/chili tingle. Then the flavors mellowed and smoothed out, no transitions, so developments. No big flavors.

## High expectations

It started very strong with some great spice on the retro. Lots of charred oak and leather in the beginning. Retro Vegas with pink peppercorns and then transitioned to more of a cinnamon/chili tingle.

Then the flavors mellowed and smoothed out, no transitions, so developments. No big flavors. I was a bit disappointed as it seemed to start strong and go flat for me. But I loved the experience and it was beautiful to be sure.
