Two birthdays. One new year. Plenty of peat.
Come kick off the new year to celebrate Travis’s 10 years representing Ardbeg, along with 2 birthdays. Expect bold pours, easy vibes, and a night that feels like the perfect reset. The evening’s Ardbeg lineup spans the full spectrum of Islay character, from the iconic smoky intensity of Ardbeg 10 to the rare elegance of the Ardbeg 25 Year Old. Guests will explore cult favorites like the high-octane Ardbog, alongside refined, mature expressions including Ardbeg 17, Ardbeg 19, and the celebrated Y2K 23 Year Old. Together, these whiskies tell a story of peat, patience, and prestige. To close out the night, we’ll pour additional surprise expressions, reflecting back and reminiscing on Travis’ whisky career. Bring your cheers, raise a glass, and let’s toast to friendship and a better year. It’s going to be a blast! 🥃✨
The price of the event includes a bottle of Ardbeg Ten to take home.

about Blu Jam:
Established in 2006, it started out as an idea between friends— a casual cafe in Hollywood that would utilize seasonal local ingredients to create gourmet breakfast and lunch dishes at an affordable price. Visitors can indulge in their signature Crunchy French Toast or explore lighter fare with the Power House – and everything in between. Our lively and inviting ambiance pairs perfectly with an unwavering approach to quality, service, and culinary innovations. [link]
