    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex nose with citrus notes
    • Balanced and smooth on palate
    • Unique floral and herbal finish

    Flora Antillarum, a limited-edition rum from Bologne distillery, offers a unique Guadeloupean experience with its cask strength of 54.9% ABV. Originally distilled in 2014 from sugarcane juice and aged for 7 years, it reveals an aromatic blend of lime, orange peel, sugarcane, and fruity notes. Many users appreciate its complex nose, though some find the alcohol slightly harsh. On the palate, its vegetal and sweet sugarcane flavors are complemented by herbal and chocolate hints. Generally well-received, it presents a youthful vigor and balanced character valued by connoisseurs but regarded by some as needing more maturity for the hefty price tag.

    "Fresh, yet quite expressive. Unfortunately, on the palate with a little alcoholic sting."

    "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!"

    "Relativ Alkoholisch in der Nase wie auch am Gaumen. Zitrusfrüchte und deutlich Florale Noten ...leichte Würze und Schokolade. Alles in allem ganz ok aber irgendwie holt der mich nicht ab ... nichts was besonders in Erinnerung bleibt."

    "#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"."
