4 Reasons Whiskey is a Perfect Drink for Capital Region Winters

It's Whiskey Night in Saratoga and that got me thinking about how whisky really is a perfect drink for the Capital Region.

We had some unseasonably warm weather this week, but Capital Region winters can be no joke. Even now we're apparently in for some snow just a day after temperatures hit a balmy 70 degrees. So, sometimes you just need a little something extra to get you through the bitter cold, dark winters of Upstate New York. I totally get it. Maybe it's not your drink of choice, but here are 4 reasons why whiskey adds up to being the perfect drink for Capital Region winters.

Best news of all? You can head up to Saratoga tonight for Whiskey Night as a part of Saratoga Beer Week. It's tonight!
