Mokksh Sani, Founder of Living Liquidz, Mansionz, and Co-founder of Cartel Bros, said, “Age refines a whisky— but a great cask defines it. Twelve years may give you a beautifully matured spirit, but a fine cask finish transforms it—it’s not just apple, it’s apple plus. Each expression in The GlenJourneys Cask Series reveals its own distinctive character on the palate, setting it apart from the conventional single malts that simply line the shelf.”

Ajay Devgn, Co-Founder of The GlenJourneys, added: “Globally, whisky lovers are chasing cask-finished malts for the craftsmanship they embody—where tradition meets innovation, and patience meets precision. The GlenJourneys elevates that pursuit with a Cask Series that’s been thoughtfully curated, where every finish reveals the quiet power of time, wood, and artistry.”
