People in Newfoundland and Labrador can now drink like Ricky, Bubbles and Julian with a new product bottled and sold at the Newfoundland Labrador Liquor Corporation. 

Rock Spirits, the NLC's manufacturing division, has a contract with Dartmouth Spirits Inc. to bottle the Trailer Park Boys' Liquormen's Ol' Dirty Canadian Whisky in a St. John's facility.

The liquor is inspired by Trailer Park Boys, the TV comedy series filmed in Nova Scotia that has also launched two films. 

"It's kind of a tribute to the fans," said Peter McCreath, managing director of Dartmouth Spirits Inc.

"Fans quite often like to buy into things that relate directly to the group that they're following, whether it's buying a ball cap for a hockey team or following your favourite musicians or entertainers."

Currently, the whisky, which has been distilled and aged for three years, is on shelves just in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The name Liquormen is based on an old tale of a group of bandits who roamed the west stealing liquor, an NLC news release said.

"In recognition of these bandits, the Trailer Park Boys, experts on great spirits, created Liquormen's Whisky."

McCreath hopes to have Liquormen's whisky in stores across Atlantic Canada by Christmas.
