Using the story, the locations and the whisky itself in Ken Loach's film, The Angel's Share, Chris Scullion of Independent spirit of Bath has curated 5 different whiskies of Scotland for this very unique tasting. Sharing some of the stories behind these drams and the people who made them, it's the heart and soul of the single malts that inspired The Angel's Share.
