1841/51 Census on SP .....

Has anyone heard when these will be available? The mail I received on Hogmanay said:

"We plan to launch the Census data for 1851 and 1841 as early as possible in the New Year (Jan and Feb respectively). "

I know these things don't always go to plan so just wondering if anyone had heard of any snags or the like holding back the progress.

Let's just say that "January 2006" should be thought of as having a few extra days, - I couldn't possibly comment on just how many.

The site itself has shown 1841 as Feb/Mar for some time, and it would appear to be the case that that schedule has every chance of being met ........ as, I am led to believe, is 2006 for the OPR images .........

But as so often has been the case over the last few years don't start polishing your credit cards or seek permission from your spouse/partner/sammanboende to buy several hundred credits until the new data appears on the site ...........

PS In Sweden you can be, in official terms, including tax status, single, married or sammanboende, - literally living together, - most unfortunately from the point of view of the English language shortened in daily usage to "sambo". Perfectly normal to introduce your partner to someone on the basis of "...and this is my sambo." !!

Don't regret it!!
If you are stuck in front of the computer you are not spending it on pickling your liver or some other frivolous pursuit; and you have something permanent at the end of it.
Even my wife agrees and she's worse with the bucks than Gordon Brown.

'Fraid some of us (or at least myself) try to kill a couple of birdies with one so called stane. The single malt can help put the wild cards in potentially potent places. I am referring to censuses and the like.......

Whisky may not cure the common cold..
but it fails more agreeably than most other things.

Thrall
You are deliberately giving people a wrong impression of the single malt.

A single malt will not affect your liver as cheaper hooch does. Instead you sip slowly and appreciatively giving your liver lots of time to work its enzyme magic.
There is nothing frivolous about a malt! EVER!

Very much an advert

but if you really, really want to experience the real taste of a single malt, then you need to appreciate what happens to all blends and the great majority of single malts........

Unless whisky is processed in a certain way, there is a distinct chance that it will form a haze if ice (horror of horrors

) is added to it. Many drinkers, most especially in the USofA, regard such a haze as evidence of lack of purity and reject the whisky.

In order to avoid such haze formation, all blends and the great majority of single malts undergo a process termed "chill filtration" involving cooling down the whisky to a few minus degrees (Centigrade) and filtering it, which removes the complex haze forming compounds.

But there's only one significant problem, - these colloidal haze-forming compounds are a major component of the taste of the malt !!!

The solution?

Very simple !!, - join the Scots Malt Whisky Society, - branches all over the world, - and experience the true taste of non-chill filtered, single cask strength single malts !!
