The Angels' Share

The Legend

So what is The Angels' Share?

Well, long before science got in the way, producers of whisky thought that the angels came down and took a small amount of whisky from the casks before bottling, this was accepted and known as:

"The Angels' Share"

During its maturation process it is expected that almost 2% of whisky is lost from the oak cask. Distillers still believe in this angelic story and so accept that heaven has a love of whisky, as much as the world.

 

ADDING WATER TO YOUR WHISKY!

Why add water to your whisky? well, why not? You should drink your whisky exactly as you please, but there is some science behind why some people do it.

Adding a small amount of water to whisky is a common practice among enthusiasts and blending experts, as it can enhance the drinking experience in several ways:

Aroma Enhancement: Introducing water can release volatile compounds in the whisky, intensifying its aroma. This process allows drinkers to detect subtle scents that might be subdued at full cask strength

Flavour Development: Water can mellow the alcohol's intensity, making it easier to perceive the whisky's nuanced flavours. This dilution can reveal complex taste profiles that are otherwise masked by the higher alcohol concentration. 

Alcohol Reduction: Diluting whisky with water lowers its alcohol by volume (ABV), reducing the burning sensation and allowing for a more comfortable tasting experience. This adjustment can make the whisky more approachable, especially for those sensitive to higher alcohol content or new to whisky.

Scientific Perspective: Compounds like guaiacol, responsible for smokey flavours, become more prominent when whisky is diluted. Adding water can increase the concentration of such compounds at the surface, enhancing specific flavour notes. 

Given these benefits, our premium whisky water dropper is an essential tool for whisky fans. It allows precise control over the amount of water added, enabling drinkers to tailor their experience to personal preference and fully appreciate the whisky's character. Using the Dropper like a pipette adds elegance to the tasting table.
