Trump Super Premium Vodka

In 2006, Drinks Americas introduced Trump Super Premium Vodka as the World's Finest Super Premium Vodka. Their slogan would be simple and straight to the point; "Success Distilled." It would prove to be one of the most successful vodka launches of a vodka even over that of Grey Goose. Commenting on the initial introduction of his signature vodka, Trump remarked, "A great friend of mine was a founder of Grey Goose. And what we're going to do is top it. I want to top them just because it's fun to top my friends." -Donald Trump on Larry King Live Transcript of Donald Trump on Larry King Live

Distilled five times from select European wheat, carbon filtered twice. Produced in Holland by Wanders Distillery (est. 1631): Master Distiller, Jacques De Lat. Gold crafted bottle designed by Milton Glaser. Imported by Donald Trump and Drinks Americas Holdings Ltd. The spirits offering comes in 50ml, 750ml, 1 liter, 1.75 liter sizes. One can even purchase a bottle emblazened with 24 karat gold; a signature that just symolizes the Trump mystique. Price: $30-40 per 1-liter bottle

In 2007, the company further expanded on the ever growing Trump presence in the world of vodka by signing a deal with Recolte of Russia. Recolte would commit to an annual 50000 case shipment of Trump Vodka products totalling $7.5 million per year.

Alexander Timofeev, Chairman and CEO of Recolte, stated, "We are extremely glad to have partnered with Drinks Americas and Trump Super Premium Vodka and we are looking forward to our long-term relationship. Mr. Trump is well known in Russia for his business acumen and high standards of luxury and quality. We trust that all the plans we have set together will come true as the Russian premium and super premium drinks market is developing rapidly."

Patrick Kenny, President and CEO Drinks Americas, stated, "Drinks Americas is extremely excited about bringing Trump Super Premium Vodka to Russia. The Russian consumer is aware of Donald Trump's accomplishments and his reputation for excellence. They respect his entrepreneurial accomplishments and they appreciate great vodka. We believe and more importantly our Russian business partners believe that Trump Super Premium Vodka will be appreciated for its taste and succeed in the premium market segment. We are also very pleased to be associated with Mr. Timofeev and have the benefit of his understanding of distribution in the Russian market." Mr. Kenny also added, "The sales revenue implications to Drinks are significant." 50,000 Case Annual Minimum Contract With Major Distributor Recolte of Russia Corporate Website

Parlaying on that success gave Drinks Americas a further avenue to pursue. They expanded their initial Trump offering by adding a line of Flavored Vodkas bearing Trump's name and with the same distinctive Trump "T" on every bottle. Flavors released in early 2008 are Raspberry, Grape, Orange, and Citron. "Following the phenomenal success of the multi-award winning Trump(TM) Super Premium Vodka, the launch of flavored vodkas has been highly anticipated," stated Cathy Hoffman Glosser, Executive Vice President of Global Licensing at The Trump Organization. "Extending the product line to include flavors further establishes the brand in the premium vodka industry. We are confident that Trump(TM) Premium Flavored Vodka will exceed our expectations."
