The Velier Bologne 2014 Flora Antillarum is a limited-edition seven-year-old Rhum Agricole, produced at the esteemed Bologne distillery in Guadeloupe and bottled as part of Velier's new Flora Antillarum series in 2022. This rum is a distinctive blend of three casks filled in May 2013, May 2014, and November 2014, including a virgin oak cask and two ex-Cognac casks. Carefully selected and blended by Velier, this rum is bottled at cask strength, resulting in an ABV of 54.9%. The Flora Antillarum range from Velier highlights distilleries from Guadeloupe and the West Indies, and this particular expression from the Bologne distillery boasts a complex profile due to the utilization of different wooden barrels. The result is a unique and exceptional rum that showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of both Velier and the Bologne distillery.

The Velier Bologne 2014 Flora Antillarum is generally well-regarded for its complex and youthful profile, characterized by a rich array of citrus, herbal, and vegetal notes. While some reviewers appreciate the integration of sweet and spicy flavors, others feel that the rum could benefit from additional aging to achieve a more mature and harmonious balance. The medium-long finish with lingering floral and lime notes is often highlighted, though the strong presence of alcohol and young wood is noted by some as slightly overpowering. Overall, this rum is seen as a promising expression that captures the essence of Guadeloupe's terroir, but may appeal more to those who enjoy a fresh and vibrant style of rum.
