Limited Edition Release of Only 800 Bottles to Benefit World Central Kitchen

New York, NY — September 16, 2025 — Gentleman’s Cut Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, founded by four-time NBA Champion and two-time MVP Stephen Curry, announces the newest expression in its celebrated Player Exclusive series: a limited-edition collaboration with internationally renowned chef and humanitarian José Andrés.

This 10-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon, finished in Spanish Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks, is the first-ever Gentleman’s Cut release to feature a collaboration beyond the basketball court. Priced at $375 and limited to just 800 bottles, this rare bourbon release reflects a shared dedication to craftsmanship, culture, and community.

“To me, food and drink provide a common language, a way to share joy and create community at home and around the world,” said José 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.”

A Flavor Profile Rooted in Excellence and Innovation

The Player Exclusive: José Andrés boasts a rich, layered profile:

  • Vanilla backbone draped in silk
  • Dark raisins, fig jam, and honey steeped in spiced rum
  • Finishing notes of leather, nutmeg, and espresso roast

Bottled at 107 proof and crafted from a mashbill of 78% corn, 13% rye, and 9% malted barley, the bourbon balances indulgent flavor with structural elegance.

“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 Stephen Curry. “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.”

Purpose Beyond the Pour: Proceeds to Support World Central Kitchen

More than a bourbon, this release is a commitment to global impact. A majority of the proceeds from the Player Exclusive: José Andrés will support World Central Kitchen, the non-profit founded by Andrés in 2010. The organization provides food relief to disaster-stricken communities around the globe.
