During the process of making wine or whiskey, producers often use oak barrels to store their drink products; when alcohol is stored at 60 percent humidity or higher, for long periods of time, some of it will evaporate out of the barrel.

The evaporating alcohol is called the angel's share, alluding to the belief that guardian angels watch over the product as it ages. The beverage's alcoholic level can be determined in part by how much alcohol evaporates out of the oak barrels.

The angel's share is also the name of a popular bar in New York City and an ale made by a company called the Lost Abbey, based in California; both of these uses of the name are derived from the process of evaporating alcohol.

How the Angel's Share Occurs

Many distilled spirits and wines are virtually undrinkable after their sugar content has fermented into alcohol. In the case of distilled spirits, the alcoholic content of a "fresh" batch may be nearly 190 proof or better, and the flavor of the beverage would not be very appealing.

To reduce the percentage of alcohol and to intensify the subtle flavors of the wine or distilled spirit, producers often store their products in oak barrels. In the case of distilled spirits, such as whiskey, the staves of the oak barrels are often heavily charred before assembly to give the drink a distinct taste.

耳聞英倫名導Ken Loach大名已久，卻從未有機會欣賞他的作品(幾年前吹動大麥的風 The Wind That Shakes the Barly本來我都殺去戲院它卻下檔了，算是我跟他最靠近的一次擦身而過)；這次則是感謝朋友熱情提供(最近很多好片都是這樣看到的，感激不盡)，讓我終於趕在年尾跟已經高齡76仍創作不輟的他相遇。

看完後再次證明了顛撲不破的真理: 電影始終來自人性、而人性始終來自困境。

一向作品都較偏左派、為基層人民發聲的Ken Loach，這次改走較為輕鬆詼諧、黑色幽默的風格，探討這些社會邊緣人奮鬥、重生的故事。

一群社會邊緣人因傷人、酗酒、慣竊被判團體社區服務。其中，因傷害罪被判勞役三百小時­的羅比剛當上新手爸爸，為了孩子想改過自新，昔日幫派卻始終不放過他；沒想到，觀護人­哈利帶著眾人進行一場威士忌酒廠的觀摩之旅，意外啟發巴比的品酒天分，一起社區服務的­艾伯特、萊諾、摩兒更發揮同袍愛，四個小混混為了全新人生，決定發揮「天使威士忌」的­精神，展開一場偷天換日的行動。

導演肯洛區作品向來關懷社會底層弱勢小人物的生活點滴，此次《天使威士忌》再度以他最­愛的蘇格蘭格拉斯哥市為背景，以黑色喜劇手法詮釋一群遊手好閒的年輕人如何「劫富濟貧­」，自助助人；「二○一一年，英國失業青年人口首度突破百萬，所以我希望述說一個關於­這世代年輕人面對空虛未來的故事：當他們確信自己得不到一個安定的工作，他們會如何面­對別人？如何看待自己？」──肯洛區
