47 Spirits LLC was incorporated in Delaware in May, with the similarly named 47 Spirits Holding LLC and 47 Spirits Holdings MGR LLC incorporated in July (these names are similar to how Trump has structured many of his other companies, though business filings simply list a third-party registered agent).
The first iteration of Trump Vodka was discontinued in the United States in 2011 due to decrease in sales and a clash between Donald Trump and the product’s then-supplier Drinks Americas, which he later sued and won a crisis for $4.8 million, alleging that the company failed to fulfill the agreed upon rights.
The White House referred an investigation to the Trump Organization. representatives for the Trump Organization and Trump Vodka did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
