Definition from
Publico newspaper:
due to the porousness of the barrel, some of the liquor inside would disappear during the critical aging process. The result? A loss of about 2% of the total volume per year. Because the liquid would evaporate into the heavens, it was dubbed the “angel’s share.” Images of drunken angels notwithstanding, this unavoidable circumstance is both a blessing and a curse.<br /><b><a href="https://thewhiskeywash.com/whiskey-styles/american-whiskey/what-is-the-angels-share/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://thewhiskeywash.com/whiskey-styles/american-whiskey/w...</a></b>
Example sentences:
