“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)

μερίδιο των αγγέλων
Definition from
Whisky Lexicon (themaltbar):
Angel's share<br />To "μερίδιο των αγγέλων". Κατά την διάρκεια της αποθήκευσης στο βαρέλι, μέρος του υγρού (νερό και αλκοόλ) εξατμίζεται. Στη Σκωτία η εξάτμιση είναι περίπου 2%, ενώ στην Ινδία είναι περίπου 12% ετησίως. Σε περιοχές με υψηλή υγρασία χάνεται περισσότερη αλκοόλη απ ότι νερό με αποτέλεσμα ο αλκοολικός βαθμός να πέφτει. Ενώ σε περιοχές με υψηλή ξηρασία χάνετε περισσότερο νερό από ότι αλκοόλ με αποτέλεσμα ο αλκοολικός βαθμός να ανεβαίνει.
Example sentences:
Angels’ share ή αλλιώς το μερίδιο των αγγέλων ονομάζεται, στη γλώσσα του ουίσκι, το ποσοστό αλκοόλ που εξατμίζεται από τα βαρέλια κατά την περίοδο ωρίμανσης. (whisky and travel blog)
