A Taste of Greatness: Stephen Curry’s Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon
Here’s something many basketball enthusiasts might already know: Stephen Curry, apart from being one of the greatest NBA stars of his generation, is also a budding whiskey connoisseur. Curry recently launched his own Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon, and as one might expect, it has been attracting quite a bit of attention. This is not only because of Curry’s high-profile persona but because the bourbon itself is a remarkable blend of richness, flavor, and character. Don’t take it from me—several former NBA stars have had the chance to taste Curry’s mix and their reactions were notable, to say the least. The verdict? A resounding ‘Damn, Steph!’

Testimonies from Former NBA Stars

So, when these fellas tasted Curry’s mix, their feedback was indeed worthwhile.
Shaq’s Verdict: Smooth and Refreshing
Shaquille O’Neal, a retired NBA legend who knows a thing or two about spirit, described the bourbon as “smooth and refreshing”. And while Shaq is known for his nearly unparalleled basketball skills, his taste in whiskey is equally exceptional.
Charles Barkley: A Tip of the Hat
Charles Barkley, an outspoken figure on and off the court, didn’t shy away from complimenting Curry’s new venture. His comment after trying Stephen’s Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon was short and sweet, or should we say short and “like rich candy and nuts”? This phrase is always associated with an excellent bourbon, giving this NBA star’s endorsement some real weight.
Chris Webber: A New Favorite
Next up, we have Chris Webber, another retired NBA star, and renowned analyst. Webber opined, “If I didn’t know this was Stephen’s, I’d still be beyond impressed. But knowing he was involved makes it even more special.” His words are a testament to both the caliber of the bourbon and the respect he has for Curry as a person and as a connoisseur.
What Makes Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon Special?
It’s clear that Curry’s Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon has made waves across the NBA community. But what exactly is it that sets this bourbon apart?
