For drinkers who need a serviceable Canadian whisky to anchor simple cocktails and mixed drinks at volume, it fills that role without pretension. Canadian law guarantees at least three years of barrel aging, providing a baseline of smoothness even at this price tier. It is an honest, no-frills blended Canadian whisky built for the mixing glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Newport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44836526063785,"sku":"9152","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/canadian-xl-750__82792.jpg?v=1730459617"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/newport.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
