When discussing whiskey, adjectives like full-bodied, neat, and strong come to mind. But one term pervades every batch of whiskey produced: angel's share. What does it mean?
Answer The amount of whiskey lost during the aging process
Nowadays, almost all whiskeys are matured in oak barrels. The wood absorbs some of the distillate's more disagreeable characteristics and imparts distinctive tastes to the liquid. However, there is a catch: since the barrel is porous, part of the liquor evaporates during the crucial aging period. Due to the fact that the whiskey would evaporate into the sky, it was given the name "angel's share."
