Sipped neat, this drinks green and fresh — lime, orange peel, sugarcane and herbs, closer to a white agricole than a 7-year-old rhum. Several tasters find it tastes young despite tropical aging, with a bitter, tannic edge and alcohol that pokes through a bit. Floral, citrusy and interesting, but not everyone's profile.
The community says- Fresh citrus profile
- Floral and vegetal

How does Velier Bologne Flora Antillarum 2014 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Green, citrusy agricole that drinks young Fresh, vegetal Bologne agricole most tasters rate as good but young — lots of lime and green herbs, some bitterness, and a slightly hot finish. Interesting rather than loved.

A roundup of citrus and a mixture of herbs and plant part that reminds me much more of a white than an aged rum!You can feel all the Bologne cane here!I just would have liked a little more complexity!

A palate with very pronounced acidity and spiciness, leather and subtle spices
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
06.04.2026 Retasting with Fabian in Blåvand. ----------- #4477 18.11.2023 This one is very smooth and elegant compared to the others. Really good balance. Medium fruity with roasted wood and light spices. The palate is smooth and fresh with wood/tannins without it taking over. The finish is medium long and herbal with light orange. Would have loved a bit more "kapow".
Review by Jakob
Fresh, yet quite expressive. Unfortunately, on the palate with a little alcoholic sting.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,1:On the nose, the first impression we get is a sugarcane honey, citrus, spicy wood notes like pepper, vanilla, roasted nuts, as cane is herbaceous, flowery and vegetal with hay and tea. On aeration, more fruits arise, mostly citrus with a lime, grapefruit and orange peel, cane gets darker with licorice, a help of roastedness, we notice cocoa, burnt sugar. 8:On the palate, the attack is vegetal with sugarcane honey, tea, hay, herbaceous and flowery cane, slightly mineral, spices like pepper, nutmeg and vanilla, roasted wood with dark chocolate, nuts and faint caramel, as more fruity tones attack our tasting buds with citrus, pear, yellow fruits and raisins. 8,1:The finish is long, dry and tannic, similar as the palate, but now earthy and with crunchy bread.. Edit:17.8.25
Review by TheRhumhoe
A fairly young Guadeloupean rum that offers many fruity notes on the nose, notably citrus, woody, spicy and floral notes, but above all a soft framework of sugarcane, honey and brioche for a pleasant pastry side. The alcohol is very well integrated on the palate, with floral and vegetal aromas taking center stage before revealing dried fruit and citrus. There are also woody and spicy notes, notably hazelnut and nutmeg. The finish is of medium length, concentrating on sugarcane, floral and vegetal notes, with a sensation of gentle warmth. A rum that has a lot to offer for its young age, but whose quality/price ratio remains questionable compared to other vintages.
Review by SaibotZtar
Relatively alcoholic in the nose as well as on the palate. Citrus fruits and clear floral notes ... light spice and chocolate. All in all quite ok but somehow it doesn't pick me up ... Nothing particularly memorable.
Review by Frank
Let's see whether Velier has bottled a good Bologne here, or whether you simply have to accept a collector's surcharge. Nose: beautifully different, very flowery and floral on the nose. I like that very much. A mixture of rose, geranium and violet with sweet and sour yellow lemon, fresh orange and grapefruit as well as redcurrant and gooseberry. Fits together very harmoniously. However, it also seems almost a little artificial, like candied lemon peel or dishwashing liquid. Spicy with fresh ginger behind it. 8.4 Palate: also slightly floral here with orange peel and lime. Also slightly bitter and lemony-fresh at the same time. Salty-metallic and becoming more herbal. Is there some cardamom in there? More grapefruit and some grass on the back. A little tiring on the palate, but multi-faceted at the same time. Overall, not quite my feel-good profile. 7,8
Review by Jarek
Needs a bit more time in the glass to open up. The nose is rather on the spicy side, fruit a bit behind. On the palate, the fruit comes through more. Alcohol a bit sharp, could be better integrated. Overall OK, but not really good.
Review by Thunderbird
On the nose restrained fresh citrus with hints of olive and sugar cane !The palate is initially very mild, soft and sweet. Then it switches to the herbal, slightly herbaceous to finally end in the spicy! Fruit I no longer perceive!The finish is medium long and continues the palate!A good rum that would have needed some more maturity!Amazing with the tropical maturation.
Review by Skyfly
The rum reminds very much of a white rum. Besides the sugarcane, citrus fruits like lime and orange peel surprise you from the start; a little pear and herbs are also present. The alcohol is a bit too strong. Still a taste surprise!
Review by Johannes Eisner
Rather reserved on the nose. On the palate very youthful despite the 7 years.
Review by mto75
Still seems quite young for the 7 years of tropical aging. A lot of green (green peppers, herbs) on the nose. In addition, fruity notes of orange and lime, and something sweet in the background (syrup, candy). Peppery on the palate, herbs, young wood, lime on the finish. Bottom line, not quite my preferred profile.
Review by zabo
Franconian Tasting Gang goes Tiki First of all, many thanks to Jarek, who opened this bottle especially for us for the tasting. Unfortunately, I probably expected too much from this bottling. A solid rum, but unfortunately nothing more.
Review by Serge
Quite good. However, I liked the Rasta Morris better in this direct comparison ...
Review by Timo Groeger
Next up was an Agricole, but I can't say it completely convinced me. Especially lime and orange peel, as well as herbs on the nose. On the palate, very vegetal and floral, with herbs recognizable again.

Review by Gil Firth
Bottle Fascinating rum but a bit raw. The profile of Bologne is very green. Very fresh. How many times can you say every rum really has lemon and citrus peel in the profile. Complex rum. Light. Interesting. Full of green grass and bright citrus but at the end of the day it is also bitter and too young. I wouldn't pay that amount, from experience.
Review by Johannes
Not my favorite. Tastes very young, unfortunately little tropical maturation recognizable.
Review by BottleShrimp
A nose that could remind you of molasses (brown sugar) accompanied by citrus marmalade. A strong attack on the palate followed by a nice freshness that tempers it. A slightly dry finish. You quickly want to dive back in. A great discovery of Bologne's work, a bit different from the usual productions.
Review by MJ97
Au nez très végétal, on sent l’alcool mais dérange pas, relativement bien intégré. J’ai un peu la trame fût neuf, solvant / colle à bois. Citron, zeste d’orange, vanille. En bouche j’ai l’amertume du bois style la trame fût neuf / mini fût (nos vieillissement maison) mais c’est équilibre avec les fruits / agrumes. La finale l’amertume du bois revient prendre le dessus.
Review by Oliver
Nose quite alcoholic.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Star fruit and citrus and young wood on the nose and taste also round and lots of fruit and not too much wood.
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
Tasted at GRF2025 Good quality rum. Not my cup of tea due to Agricole.
Review by Rummiamo
Excellent aged rum from Bologne, the rating is mainly due to the quality-price ratio, with the price quite high. However, the rum is really good, like the whole Flora Antillarum series!
