Partnering with Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon, Curry has unveiled a 16-year-old straight bourbon whiskey branded the Player Exclusive: Father and Son Edition. This release pays tribute to the Curry family’s legacy, as Stephen follows in the footsteps of his father, Dell Curry, who also enjoyed a stellar 16-season NBA career.
Stephen Curry surely needs no introduction, having emerged as one of the apex players of his generation with 10 All-Star appearances, four championships, two MVP nods, and an Olympic gold medal. As Stephen now enters his own 16th season in the NBA, he’s decided to release a special bourbon that pays tribute to his and his father’s legacy and their shared love for the game.
He kind of has an all-star palate when it comes to whiskey. The younger Curry observes intense aromatics of dried cherries and caramelized sugar in the 16-year-old spirit. For collectors, that special blend of quality and precious rarity is bound to get them in the game. So you can expect Father and Son Edition to be stripped from shelves long before NBA playoff season rolls around — even at a suggested retail price of $950 a bottle.
Stephen Curry has found a special way to celebrate his 16th season in the NBA. On Monday, Dec. 16, Stephen's liquor company, Gentleman’s Cut, released a $950 16-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, branded Player Exclusive: Father and Son Edition, to mark the incredible achievement.
Curry is releasing a super limited edition bourbon called "Player Exclusive: Father and Son Edition for a 16-year aged, 100-proof bottle to honor his and dad’s 16 years in the league. It’s awesome to see the father and son duo doing something super cool together in the form of this super expensive bourbon.

The four-time NBA champ loves cigars too and uses them to keep himself relaxed and focused. In this issue, we sat down with Curry to get to know his story and his love for cigars and bourbon.
