The Glenwalk, the premium Scotch whisky brand from Cartel Bros, has won a Silver Medal at the Scotch Whisky Masters 2026, adding another international accolade to its growing list of industry recognitions. The competition, organised by The Spirits Business, uses a rigorous blind-tasting format judged by an independent panel of whisky experts, with the latest award recognising The Glenwalk’s quality, craftsmanship and consistency.
The Silver Medal at the Scotch Whisky Masters 2026 strengthens The Glenwalk’s position in the premium blended Scotch whisky segment and adds to the brand’s growing international recognition. The brand has previously received multiple awards across leading global spirits competitions, including a Bronze at the London Spirits Awards 2025, Gold and Silver at ProWine 2024, and Silver medals at the London Spirits Competition, International Wine & Spirits Competition 2024 and IWSC 2024. The Glenwalk also received Gold at the Spiritz Achiever Awards 2024 and earlier secured Gold and Silver medals at ProWine 2023.
Mokksh Sani, Co-Founder of Cartel Bros, said the recognition at the Scotch Whisky Masters was particularly significant because the competition evaluates whiskies through blind tasting, allowing the quality of the liquid to speak for itself. He said the Silver Medal reflects the company’s focus on developing Scotch whisky brands that can compete on an international level while meeting the increasingly discerning expectations of Indian consumers.
Sanjay Dutt, Co-Founder of The Glenwalk, said the brand was created with a focus on producing a whisky that consumers could genuinely enjoy and take pride in sharing. He added that the Silver Medal provides validation for that vision and encourages the brand to continue raising its standards.

The latest recognition comes as premium whisky consumption continues to gain momentum in India and international markets increasingly view India as an important growth market for premium spirits. The Glenwalk’s performance at an internationally recognised whisky competition highlights the brand’s growing ambitions beyond the domestic market.
Founded by Mokksh Sani, Manish Sani, Rohan Nihalani and Jitin Merani, along with CBO Vishal Rajan, Cartel Bros has continued to build its premium spirits portfolio through brands targeting India’s evolving consumer preferences. The Glenwalk has also been named ‘Most Disruptive Brand of the Year’ at the 8th Talent Track Awards, further adding to its growing list of industry achievements.
With the latest Silver Medal at the Scotch Whisky Masters 2026, The Glenwalk continues to strengthen its positioning as an Indian-led premium Scotch whisky brand, combining international recognition with an expanding presence in the rapidly growing premium spirits market.
