After 3X sales growth in India, Sanjay Dutt-owned whisky The Glenwalk to debut in Dubai in July

It's common for well-known figures to have ties to liquor brands. Celebrities like Sting, Jon Bon Jovi, and Emma Watson are linked to wine sales, while David Beckham produces a single grain scotch. As for our heartland Sanjay Dutt became the very first Indian celebrity to associate himself with a whisky brand called The Glenwalk. 

Last year in June, Sanjay Dutt ventured into the liquor brand industry by investing in the alcobev startup Cartel & Bros. He subsequently introduced a Scotch whisky called The Glenwalk.

Post establishing its presence in PAN India in less than one year, The Glenwalk has joined forces with The Gulf Beverages to make its international debut in the Middle East.
