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)
