Faber is a Pennsylvania-based producer of gin, vodka, and rum. Its local availability is widespread, though I'm uncertain about its reach beyond the state. The scent is dominated by juniper, with a hint of sharpness and orange sherbet. The taste features juniper, citrus like orange and lemon, a slight bitterness, some initial warmth, and a lingering sweet juniper finish. The corn spirit base likely accounts for the sweetness. Generally, this is an acceptable spirit, but it truly excels in mixed drinks. More expensive gins with intricate, delicate flavors often get lost or develop off-notes in cocktails. Faber’s Gin is an affordable classic that performs reliably in any cocktail.
