I am old enough to remember the Vice President and his run for the presidency.
The cocktail has a warm taste with a strong sherry flavour as an aftertaste. We used Laird's Applejack 86 which has a stronger apple flavour than the Calvados and is a bit higher in proof. The hints of autumnal fruit are also present.
Wonderful.
