Review #3 Holiday in Hawaii - Jim beam Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey - white label, 40%ABV

First night in Hawaii, at hotel out on the lanai(balcony)
The flight was ok - we flew with jet star very friendly staff cheap flights, food very average,
no entertainment but the little one :-)
Little one slept well

Had BBQ baby back ribs for dinner delish guava BBQ sauce Mmmm....
Very warm and humid here have had a few tasty beers
Tiki bar hefeweizen and also a Kona longboard IPA both very good

Drinking from a tumblr no ice yet,I bought a miniature - 40%
the whiskey is sweet on the nose, reminds me of vanilla fudge
I'm drinking in the darkness occasionally punctuated by a motion sensor light coming on and off - the color (of the whiskey) looks ok - light yellow gold
Tastes sweet, smooth, suits the hot weather, last time I had this was in Bondi beach during winter while at a wedding about 4 & 1/2 years ago, lots of ice then for some reason...

The atmosphere is nice, sounds of the sea, a little noise from planes at the nearby airport, people eating dinner and having drinks, random conversations, occasional car traffic, 
The view from the balcony is onto the beach with some intervening palm trees and tiki torches
Quite a nice evening :-)

My lovely wife the famous comedian is in the room settling the little one
She's drinking a baileys - always good to be supporting home!

Second sip - there's a hint of something fruity on the tip of my tongue
Maybe it's jetlag? Not sure this is quite nice tho...
Wanted to start off with some American basics/classics
This was $2.30 for a miniature good value, booze is certainly cheap here, 
Just bought a miniature because I don't want to have to drink too much of the same thing or commit to something I won't necessarily like. 

The mrs has just come out to say good night
Reclining now...
Life is good...
Getting a little licorice taste maybe...

To tired to think about points just enjoying the moment - easy drinking 
Some guitar music nearby now and waves from the sea

happy days

I'll come back and do a proper review of this as a post script in the not too distant future
