Steph Curry is set to enter the celebrity spirited spirits game with the launch of Gentleman’s Cut Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The bourbon is set to be released worldwide this month at The Boone County Distilling Co. following the inaugural bottling.
“Celebrations take on many different forms, from intimate gatherings to major milestones, and at the center of each memorable moment is a spirit rooted in history and tradition,” said Curry. “I’m proud to have helped carefully craft a new signature Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Gentleman’s Cut. This rich, complex and bold bourbon is the perfect offering to commemorate life’s great occasions, and will be part of a raised-glass toasting moment in the lives of my fans, friends and family.”
According to the press release, “the name Gentleman’s Cut speaks to the art of crafting a truly fine spirit, as well as to Curry’s skillful movement on and off the court. Motivated by his passion for premium bourbon, Curry was intimately involved in every step of the process – from the manufacturing, blending and aging to the packaging and marketing efforts. At the heart of the spirit’s label is a personal message from him.”
Gentleman’s Cut is distilled in 500-gallon copper pot stills, then aged for 5 to7 years in charred new white oak barrels resulting in tasting notes of cinnamon, seared caramel and sweet toasted chestnut.
The bourbon is distilled, aged and bottled by Game Changer Distillery in Boone County, KY. Curry’s SC30 Inc. partnered with John Schwartz (owner of Amuse Bouche Winery in Napa Valley) to form a joint venture with Boone County Distilling Co.
“In close collaboration with Stephen, we produced a high-quality aged bourbon offered at a great value that will resonate with bourbon connoisseurs and help grow the craft bourbon category to our global audience,” said Schwartz.
Gentleman’s Cut has signed a national distribution agreement with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits.
Gentleman’s Cut bourbon from Steph Curry will be priced at $79.99 per 750ml bottle. For more information, head over to the brand’s official website.
