A couple who claim that the "angel's share" from a whisky bond has blighted their property have been given the go-ahead to take the case to court. (BBC News)
“Today’s rain is tomorrow’s whisky,” goes the cheery old drinker’s proverb. Such optimism is being sorely tested as scotch finds itself on the rocks of not just a no-deal Brexit but also the threat that its US trade could evaporate, like the angel’s share. (The Times)
We use infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy, and from the laser measurements, ethanol concentration in the ‘angel’s share’ is determined and used as an indicator on the potential maturation losses of the cask. (insider.co.uk)

Änglarnas andel
Definition from
vinbanken.se:
Precis som whisky förlorar cognac när den ligger på fat cirka 1,5 volymprocent alkohol per år. Det är änglarnas andel.
Example sentences:
Lagringen sker som nämnts på fat (tunnor) av trä, och under lagringen säger man att whiskyns smak mognar. Detta sker dels genom att whiskyn tränger in och ut ur träet och på så sätt tar smak av träet, dels genom att delar av whiskyn avdunstar, vilket kallas "änglarnas andel" – varje år avdunstar cirka två procent av whiskyn. (Wikipedia)
Änglarnas andel (www.anglarnasandel.se)
Änglarnas andel är benämningen på den whisky som avdunstar under fatlagringen. (Göteborgs-posten)
