Four-time NBA Champion and two-time MVP Stephen Curry is entering the spirits industry with the upcoming launch of Gentleman’s Cut™ Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Years in the making, this highly anticipated, fine-aged bourbon has been released by Game Changer Distillery located in Boone County (Independence, KY).
“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 Stephen 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.”
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.

ABOUT
Gentleman’s Cut™ is distilled in 500-gallon copper pot stills, giving the whiskey a full-bodied palate and complex aromatic profile. The whiskey is then aged for 5-7 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. Stephen Curry partnered with John Schwartz (owner of highly acclaimed Amuse Bouche Winery in Napa Valley) to form a joint venture with Boone County Distilling Co., celebrating the craft spirit pioneer of the region. Located on the Kentucky Craft Bourbon Trail, Boone County Distilling – born in 1833 – resurrected the tie tested culture, pride, and determination of the craft, and continues a tradition of the quality, grain to glass methods.
