CHELONI is a modern spirits brand that masterfully combines sophistication with rich cultural heritage. Drawing inspiration from African roots, our first product, CHELONI TIGERNUT, is a premium spirit crafted with Tigernuts, a tuber celebrated in West Africa for its subtle sweetness, nutty flavor, and traditional botanical benefits. CHELONI embodies the essence of African art, which Ernst Anspach described as marvelous in its scope, varying from charming and tender to dynamic and awe-inspiring. Our name, CHELONI, derives from the green turtle, Chelonii Mydas, symbolizing longevity, vitality, and endurance. Pronounced "Chi-low-knee," the name reflects a global, cosmopolitan ethos while offering a memorable identity. Focused on natural, botanically rich ingredients, CHELONI aspires to deliver an exotic yet familiar taste, embodying a “better for you” lifestyle.
NB: Tigernuts are allergy-free tubers, not nuts
