Description

Unopened 1.75-liter bottle of Trump Vodka, standing 18˝ in height, signed vertically over the gold leaf label in black felt tip. Sealed and in fine condition, with a few light marks. Accompanied by full letters of authenticity from PSA and JSA.

In 2005, Drinks Americas signed with Donald Trump to promote a new brand of vodka, which became known as Trump Vodka. The brand was launched with the slogan 'Success Distilled,' with Trump predicting it would outsell Grey Goose vodka. He also said that when mixed with tonic, which he referred to as a ‘Trump & Tonic,’ it would become the most drunk cocktail in the United States. In 2011, the Trump Vodka brand was discontinued in the United States when sales failed to meet the company’s threshold requirements. Reasons for its downfall: Trump himself is a non-drinker and never drank Trump Vodka, as he blamed alcohol for the death of his brother Fred Trump, Jr.; and Drinks Americas had problems producing it because the glass used in the bottles and the gold leaf labels were expensive and the company could not afford to produce them in large numbers.
