What do reviewers say about Editor in Chief and Layton?
This one splits people on the clove. Some say it reads medicinal at first blast. But give it 20 minutes, the apple sweetens, the edges round off, and what you're left with is warm confidence without.Editor in Chief
The sweetness here isn't the problem, it's the solution. Vanilla could easily turn Layton into something one-dimensional, but the cardamom keeps it aromatic and interesting.Layton
