Yale Fence

The combination of apple brandy, gin and vermouth produce a delicious spirit-forward cocktail with unexpected delicious creamy vanilla notes

So I didn’t go to Yale and I’ve never been to Duke’s (though I live next door to Duke U…I loved this! Used to local amazing apple brandy from Fair Game - it’s a keeper.

I don't remember this when I was attending Yale, but I only visited the Fence Club a couple of times. Anyway, I tried it with Hayman's Old Tom on the theory that they would have originally made it with Old Tom, and it was exquisite!

Just tried this again using some Sacred English Spiced Vermouth, which is apparently what they use at Duke's in Mayfair. Fantastic!

What a perfect after-dinner or evening sipping cocktail The gin and calvados work perfectly together. The vermouth enhances the herbal flavours and adds some sweetness. Balanced and none of the ingredients overshadow. Pleasantly spirit forward. On my favourites, but may try with a 1/4 oz of applejack-in-bond to spike it up a bit.
