The Glenwalk races past 1.6 lakh cases, sets sights on 2.7 lakh by March
MUMBAI: Sanjay Dutt’s Scotch label, The Glenwalk, has surged past 1.6 lakh cases in 2025 and is now targeting 2.7 lakh by March 2026, bolstering its claim as one of India’s fastest-growing whisky brands. The Scotch, owned by Cartel Bros, has already crossed 1.5 lakh cases as of November after emerging as Maharashtra’s top seller this year.
The brand’s rise marks a sharp jump from the 60,000 cases sold between April and September, a period when the global whiskey market remained unsettled by regulatory shifts and shifting consumption habits. The Glenwalk has since expanded beyond Maharashtra, building a national footprint across several states and duty-free hubs. A new range of “new-age statements” is due next year.
Living Liquidz and Mansionz founder and Cartel Bros co-founder Mokksh Sani, said the brand’s momentum “validated everything we believed about The Glenwalk: its craft, its distinct taste, and its resonance with today’s Indian consumer”. He added that robust demand put the 2.7 lakh-case target within reach.
The Glenwalk’s ascent has been reinforced by a string of awards, including a bronze medal at the London Spirits Awards 2025, gold and silver wins at ProWine, multiple honours at the London Spirits Competition and the International Wine & Spirits competition, and a gold at the Spiritz Achiever Awards.
Co-founders Mokksh Sani, Jitin Merani, Rohan Nihalani, Manish Sani and chief business officer Vishal Rajan credit the brand’s craft-first approach for its rapid rise. Co-founder and brand ambassador Sanjay Dutt said 2025 had been a “landmark year”, adding that 2026 would bring deeper consumer reach and a more ambitious push into premium Scotch.
The brand is now gearing up for its biggest phase of expansion, scaling production, widening distributor ties and pushing deeper into key national and overseas markets.

The narrative quietly mirrors his journey as a fast bowler, built on consistency, instinct and the kind of fit that feels right from the first wear and only gets better with time.
Jasprit Bumrah said, “In my day-to-day life, I prefer clothing that feels comfortable and effortless, especially when I’m spending time off the field. That’s why I’m happy to be partnering with Uniqlo, the brand’s approach to everyday clothing feels like a natural extension to my personal style.”
