The brand was showcased last week at the annual Wine and Spirits Wholesalers Convention in Las Vegas.

"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."

In addition, the International Licensing Industry Merchandiser's Association (LIMA) announced that Trump(TM) Super Premium Vodka, which launched just twelve months ago, has been nominated for the 2008 International Licensing Excellence Awards. These awards recognize the most impressive and successful licensed properties around the world. The Awards will be presented in seven categories at the industry's most prestigious event, the annual LIMA Gala and Awards Ceremony, on June 11 at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers.

Patrick Kenny, President and CEO Drinks Americas, commented, "This very prestigious nomination comes at a great time. The addition of our Trump(TM) Premium Flavors will add to top line revenue and expand our shelf and back bar presence. Consumers are already telling us they love the taste and quality of the new flavors. The Trump(TM) Premium Vodka flavors are abundantly tasteful and align with the award winning Trump(TM) Vodka quality. To be nominated for the LIMA Excellence award is very exciting and speaks to the consumer's view of Trump as a luxury trademark. As the summer season begins, selling 3200 cases of Trump(TM) Premium Flavors in the first few weeks is a tremendous start."
