Sanjay Dutt and Cartel Bros' premium Scotch whisky, The Glenwalk, has once again made India proud by securing a Bronze Medal in the Whiskey Category at the prestigious London Spirits Awards 2025. Building on its streak of international recognitions, this latest win reaffirms The Glenwalk’s reputation for crafting an exceptional, world-class spirit.
The London Spirits Awards, globally respected for its rigorous blind-tasting and overall brand evaluation, recognized The Glenwalk for its standout quality, value, and packaging. Sharing the excitement, Mokksh Sani, Founder of Living Liquidz, Mansionz, and Co-founder of Cartel Bros, said, “We are delighted to receive this Bronze medal at the London Spirits Awards for the second consecutive year. This continued recognition speaks volumes about the dedication and expertise that goes into every bottle of The Glenwalk.”
The Glenwalk’s latest achievement adds to an impressive list of accolades, including a Gold Medal at ProWine 2023, Silver Medals at ProWine and London Spirits Competition 2024, a Silver Award at the International Wine and Spirits Competition 2024, and a Gold at the Spiritz Achiever 2024. These awards collectively highlight the brand’s steadfast commitment to excellence—a vision passionately driven by co-founders Mokksh Sani, Jitin Merani, Rohan Nihalani, Manish Sani, and Chief Business Officer Neeraj Singh.
Expressing his pride, brand ambassador and co-founder Sanjay Dutt shared, “It's great to see The Glenwalk consistently shine on the global stage. Winning another medal at the London Spirits Awards is a testament to the brand's enduring quality and the passion of the Cartel Bros team. Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement.”

The brand’s rapid rise has been nothing short of remarkable—closing FY 2024–25 with an impressive 1.4 million bottles sold across India. With expansion plans targeting 4.2 million bottles in India, travel retail, and overseas markets in the next year, The Glenwalk is set to scale new heights.
