Distillerie Chelo is a family-run artisanal distillery from Saint-Michel-de-l’Attalaye in northern Haiti, recognized for producing Clairin, a traditional, unfiltered rum made exclusively from the local Cristalline sugarcane variety. The cane is hand-cut, spontaneously fermented with wild ambient yeasts, and distilled in classic copper pot stills, without additives, dilution, or industrial intervention.

The result is a powerful, raw spirit - typically 54-56% ABV - with a profile defined by grassy, herbal, and earthy notes, complemented by subtle citrus and restrained fruit undertones. Their flagship expression, Clairin Sajous, reflects the terroir of northern Haiti and the multigenerational expertise of the Sajous family, offering a spirit that stands in stark contrast to commercial, highly processed rums.

Chelo remains committed to minimal manipulation and traditional techniques, positioning its Clairin as one of the purest and most authentic representations of Caribbean rum heritage.
