Interesting Fact

I’m reading an article in Wine Enthusiast called Scotland’s Whisky Smugglers’ Trails and I came across an interesting fact. I will share it below. J

 

It is said that the police can’t run breathalyzer tests in Dufftown because there is so much evaporated alcohol in the air-estimated to be 2%. Alcohol lost to evaporation is referred to as “the angel’s share”.

 

What makes it more believable is that ½ of Scotland’s 92 distilleries are in this region, thus why there is so much evaporated alcohol.
