Is Donald Trump Planning A Scottish Whisky?

Filed under: Spirits

Donald Trump is already in the vodka business but with his plans to develop a golf resort in Scotland, he's thinking of branching out into whisky. Trump is said to be meeting with local distillers to find one to produce a Trump-branded single malt whisky. Trump, who loves putting his name on anything possible, is already investing millions in his resort on the Menie Estate, near Balmedie in Aberdeenshire. There are many local distilleries in the area. Sarah Malone, executive vice-president of Trump International Golf Links, is quoted as saying that 'Trump Whisky' could be sold around the globe by 2012. There are also plans for a variety of other Trump-branded products to be sold at the property. The resort will eventually be home to a club house, hotel and luxury real estate.

Trump vodka features a single angular "T" but the Trump whisky might have a new decoration. According to an article in The Press and Journal, Trump has has applied to the Court of the Lord Lyon so that an official Trump coat of arms can be created.Any person who wishes to use Arms must petition for a Grant of Arms or - if they can trace their ancestry back to an ancestor who had a grant of Arms - a "matriculation" showing their place within the family. If a grant is obtained then a parchment is issued and a duplicate is recorded in the Public Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland. The website says that Arms are not generally granted to non-British citizens but those of Scottish ancestry (which Trump is, on his mother's side) can apply to the Lord Lyon King of Arms for cadet matriculations, as described above.

Meanwhile locals continue to protest the development, recently stealing marker flags used to map out the course from the site. The Tripping Up Trump movement also continues to pick up speed, and members were seen protesting Trump's Aberdeenshire development at the British Open.

Trump's Vodka Set To Fly Off The Shelves

Knock me over with a feather, Trump's vodka is apparently selling well, at least to wholesalers. Drinks Americas Holdings says that they have orders for 40,000 cases of Trump Super Premium Vodka which works out to $5 million in advance orders. The company plans to start shipping in their first fiscal quarter which starts May 1 and they are currently adding distributors. Which means soon it will be everywhere. Yikes!
