As a result, the Curry brand is ringing loud and proud. His huge list of endorsements, his hefty payday which is north of $50 million dollar a year, and his stakes in Under Armour have helped him generate a lot of wealth. With his feet firmly set in the business world, he launched his own whiskey line, named Gentleman’s Cut.

Stephen Curry’s Gentleman Cut is packing a lot of heat

Curry launched Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon edition in May this year. This whiskey is a blend of 75% corn, 21% Rye, and 4% Malted Barley. Aged for five to seven years, it claims to provide the taste of honey, fresh vanilla bean, cocoa, and toast. Therefore, when Washington Wizards sharpshooter Gilbert Arenas took a sip, he felt the flavor straightaway.

During his renowned YouTube show Gil’s Arena, former NBA players Rashad McCants, Stephen Jackson, and Brandon Jennings joined in. The crew tried out the whiskey on the set and when Jackson asked him about the drink, the three-time All-Star stated, “I’m trying to man, but I am already sweating through the hat and everything”. They loved the taste, setting up heated debates about the current best players in the NBA.
