English term or phrase: angel's share

Definition from Oxford:
n. (usually with the) the quantity of wine or distilled spirits lost to evaporation while ageing in wooden casks; the vapours resulting from this process.

Example sentence(s):

A couple who claim that the "angel's share" from a whisky bond has blighted their property have been given the go-ahead to take the case to court. BBC News
“Today’s rain is tomorrow’s whisky,” goes the cheery old drinker’s proverb. Such optimism is being sorely tested as scotch finds itself on the rocks of not just a no-deal Brexit but also the threat that its US trade could evaporate, like the angel’s share. The Times
We use infrared (IR) absorption spectroscopy, and from the laser measurements, ethanol concentration in the ‘angel’s share’ is determined and used as an indicator on the potential maturation losses of the cask. insider.co.uk

kalo

Definition from opsteobrazovanje.in.rs :
Kalo (italijanski calo, prema calare – opadati, spuštati):
1) u trgovini: gubitak, manjak u masi neke robe tokom prevoza, usled sušenja, isparenja i sl.;
2) u trgovini: naknada za takav gubitak.

Example sentence(s):

Gubici destilata nastaju usled upijanja destilata u pore duga i isparavanja. Najveći gubici nastaju u toku prve godine čuvanja... Kalo zavisi od temperature i vlažnosti pod kojima se destilat čuva u buretu, zapremine bureta i kvaliteta drveta od kojeg je bure sačinjeno. - kazanizarakiju.rs
Rashodom (kalom, rastur, kvar i lom) se smatraju gubici koji nastaju pri manipulaciji dobrima, kao posljedica prirodnih uticaja, tehnološkog procesa ili kao posljedica preduzimanja neophodnih radnji u postupku proizvodnje i prometa dobara. Kalo, rastur, kvar i lom mogu nastati isušivanjem, isparavanjem, skupljanjem, smrzavanjem, razbijanhem, oštećenjem, kvarenjem, rasipanjem i topljenjem. - Poreska uprava Crne Gore
Viski sazreva vrlo dugo i kao normalno se smatra da ovaj proces traje 7—10, pa i do 20 godina i više. Troškovi starenja su veliki s obzirom na dugotrajnost, angažovanje velikih novčanih sredstava i veliki kalo. - Tehnologija hrane
