Stone Fence's ingredients reminds me of Veritas created by Todd Thrasher from PX which I described in an earlier post. Thrasher served up his version of a Laird's Apple Jack based cocktail with cider at the Repeal Day Ball we attended this past December. Derek's drink has mint which seems to me to be a very slick addition and probably was that "wow" factor in this drink when people first drank it. God I wish I could have been at the White House to try this stuff.

Let me also clarify that I do not mean Derek possibly borrowed Thrasher's Veritas recipe. Thrasher's drink and Brown's drink are clearly 2 different and distinct drinks. I think the Applejack/cider combo is clearly something both guys used immediately due to their keen skills and having their fingers on the pulse of DC's mixology scene.
