Additional Notes: The Golden Mile by Two Blokes Cider Is a single-varietal Golden Russet offering madd with honey. It is bright, dry, nutty and very crisp, with gentle honey notes. With a lot of peel notes, it’s got some pear-like elements and is long lasting.  A lot of flavour overall, though watered-down on ice. Very clean, no off-notes.
