Whether you are a leader on the court or in the community, I've found there's no better feeling than knowing you've impacted others as you're working towards greatness together. In Japanese culture, the term SHACHO (shaw-tcho) is a revered word meaning "leader", where vision and humility can power your path.
Stephen Curry
From the Producer
Gentleman's Cut is Stephen Curry's bourbon brand, and Shacho is a Player Exclusive built as a tribute to leadership rather than a career statistic. It is an eleven-year Kentucky straight bourbon given a finishing period in Japanese oak, named for the Japanese word for a company leader or chairman.
Eleven years, finished in Japanese oak
Shacho is the bottle in the Gentleman's Cut range that goes furthest from home. It is an eleven-year Kentucky straight bourbon — already unusually old for the category — given a finishing period in Japanese oak, the wood that made Japanese whisky what it is in this part of the world.
That combination is the whole point of the bottle. American corn sweetness and new charred oak underneath, and on top of it the incense-and-sandalwood character that Hong Kong drinkers have spent twenty years learning to love in Japanese whisky. If you have a shelf of Japanese bottles at home, this is the American whiskey that will make sense to you first.
Who it is for
Shacho was made as a tribute to leadership rather than to a statistic. It is the bottle in the range people buy for someone — a partner, a mentor, a chairman, the person who brought the table together — and the one they open when there is something worth marking.
It is also the natural first step up. If the standard bottling is the one that lives on your shelf, this is the one you bring out when the evening deserves it.

Temperature-controlled from Kentucky to Hong Kong
We booked a temperature-controlled container. When it turned out to be loading in a plain steel box we cancelled the whole thing and recalled it. It arrived months late and went straight into temperature-controlled storage. Every bottle we hold was under temperature control the whole way, with no gap. Read the whole story →
Gentleman's Cut is stocked and poured at selected shops, bars, clubs and restaurants across Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. To buy it near you or find somewhere pouring it tonight, see the full list of Gentleman's Cut outlets in Hong Kong. Trade enquiries can be made from the same page.
