April , 2026: Mansionz by Living Liquidz has been awarded the title of “The Greatest Retailers of the World” at the Icons of Drinks 2026, held under the globally renowned World Whisky Awards. Known for its pathbreaking concept as an experiential retail destination, Mansionz reimagines how consumers discover and engage with alco-bev.
Designed as more than just a store, it is an immersive, design-led space featuring curated selections, guided tastings, and storytelling-driven displays. This global recognition firmly places the homegrown brand on the international map, celebrating its role in transforming India’s liquor retail landscape into a premium, experience-led category that rivals the very best globally.
About the awards
The World Whisky Awards are widely regarded as one of the most respected accolades in the global beverage industry, recognising excellence across retail, innovation, marketing, and brand-building. This win acknowledges Mansionz as a category-defining concept, one that goes beyond traditional retail to create a destination where discovery and experience converge.
Experiential retail approach
Mansionz focuses on consumer engagement through interactive formats, including a “Try Before You Buy” approach and sommelier-assisted guidance that helps customers understand flavour profiles, origins, and pairings.
Technology and innovation
The offering includes a pre-order selection that expands access beyond in-store inventory, along with a “Know Your Wines” app that helps users understand preferences, varietals, and suitable pairings, making navigation easier for first-time buyers.
Product offering
The offering is elevated further through exclusive preview ranges of rare and hard-to-find alcohol, giving consumers access to limited-edition and globally sought-after labels that are otherwise difficult to procure. These elements collectively position Mansionz a notch above conventional retail, creating a space where luxury, knowledge, and accessibility come together seamlessly.
Founder’s statement
“This recognition goes beyond Living Liquidz; it reflects the larger evolution of India’s alco-bev industry on the global stage. With Mansionz, we aimed to create a space where consumers don’t just shop, but truly experience and discover. This honour is a powerful validation of that vision and of India’s growing presence in the global drinks ecosystem,” said Mokksh Sani, Founder of Living Liquidz and Co- Founder of Cartel Bros.
