July 28th photograph of " Angels at work " in Tullibardine Distillery, Perthshire, Scotland. Distillers age their whisky for many years in barrels. Over time, some whisky is lost to evaporation. They refer to this loss of spirits as “ The Angel’s Share. ” Each time a barrel is filled, a measure of this liquid seeps into the wood and is lost forever. Thus the words on the barrel stating that " Wheesht, Angels at work. " Wheesht means Quiet.
