Stephen Curry, Gentleman’s Cut Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Introduces Latest Player Exclusive: José Andrés

The Player Exclusive: José Andrés reveals the bourbon’s vanilla backbone with notable flavors of dark raisins, fig jam, and honey steeped in spiced rum

Golden State Warriors leader Stephen Curry, in collaboration with Gentleman’s Cut Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, has announced the release of the latest initiative, Player Exclusive: José Andrés.

The whiskey, which has been aged for 10 years and finished in Spanish Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks, will be a limited release of 800 bottles at a suggested retail price of $375. This is the first Player Exclusive that isn’t tied directly to Curry and his achievements, both on and off the basketball court, but instead, connected with a longtime friend and tastemaker. This is the first of future collaborations with other esteemed individuals.

“Gentleman’s Cut has always been about more than what’s in the glass; it’s about bringing people together, celebrating craftsmanship, and creating moments that matter,” said Curry in a written statement. “Partnering with José on this Player Exclusive release is special because he embodies those same values through his food, his vision, and his commitment to community through his World Central Kitchen non-profit. Together, we’re not only raising a glass to great bourbon, but also to the impact it can have when we use it to give back.”

The Player Exclusive: José Andrés reveals the bourbon’s vanilla backbone with notable flavors of dark raisins, fig jam, and honey steeped in spiced rum. The finish has threads of leather, nutmeg, and espresso roast, which balances indulgence with structure. The spirit measures at 107 Proof, with the ingredients being 78% corn, 13% rye, and 9% malted barley.

The purchase of the bottle doesn’t just satisfy the taste buds, but a majority of the proceeds will go toward World Central Kitchen, the nonprofit founded by Andres in 2010, providing food relief to communities facing crises around the globe.

“To me, food and drink provide a common language, a way to share joy and create community at home and around the world,” said Andrés. “It is an incredible honor to partner with Stephen Curry, a friend who shares the same passion of bringing people together, as we launch the first collaborative edition of Gentleman’s Cut: Player Exclusive series.”

The Player Exclusive: José Andrés can be purchased online through the Gentleman’s Cut website as well as select retailers via Southern Glazer Wine and Spirits for $375 per bottle.
