In general, this category of gin, while it does contain juniper, places less of an emphasis on this botanical.

Tasting Notes
"As one might expect from its name and list of botanicals, Tamworth Garden's Flora Gin is a showcase for floral ingredients. The lemon verbena provides a nice counterpoint to all those flowers, offering an herbal citrus note. The juniper takes a back seat in this gin. Flora is not the gin to break out for a traditional Martini or Gin and Tonic, but it opens intriguing possibilities for spring and summer cocktails. It's a soft gin, and it manages to be floral without getting soapy; recommended as a softer, sweeter take on the spirit."
