威士忌「熟成」 Maturation in Casks 
蒸餾過後的新酒是無色透明的，而經過數年在橡木桶內熟成後就會轉變成漂亮的琥珀色。因為橡木桶本身有毛細孔，水與酒精都可以滲透，因此在不同的溫度與濕度下，橡木桶內的酒液會隨著時間慢慢少量蒸發，這每年2%左右的損失稱為天使的分享!
熟成與酒桶的容量大小與使用次數、橡木種類材質、酒桶內部的燒烤程度和酒窖所在位置，以及酒廠環境等各項要素都有關係。由單純的新酒風味至多元與豐富的成熟韻味，讓威士忌更加香醇可口。
The spirits of whisky is poured into the oak barrel in the very beginning is transparent and colourless, and after a few years, the maturing in the barrel will transform the spirit into a mellow amber colour because the oak itself has the capillary that allows the water and alcohol to permeate through, thus. under a different temperature and moisture degree, the liquor in oak barrel will be evaporated with time, so is the liquor decreased. Many brewers are thus joking that even the angel could not resist the temptation of mellow whisky; the evaporated liquor thereafter is named as "Angel's Share".
