<br>
Celp indeed contains a fresh-water plant called elodia, but don’t go down
the path of a “conspiracy theory”<br>
The whole thing started of more or less as a joke, and Van Wees had no idea the
thing would be so succesfull. The first batch was indeed labelled
“whisky”, but the SWA had their say about it, and they had to
change it into scottish spirit.<br>
<br>
Expect it to taste like a young islay should, an islay that is maybe a little
“green” because of it’s youth. ;-)<br>
And I’m sure they were not trying to hoodwink the customer! I think they
saw it as a fun way of riding the wave of the “finishes”!<br>

My take on the use of C instead of K is the marketing geniuses way of covering
their backs in case they were really accused of trying to hoodwink the

I pushed the send button too quickly. Obviously if you as a biologist<br>
say it's elodia, it's elodia, but the pet store owners, who are not <br>
scientists, also call it elodia so that's the common name as well,<br>
which in my warped logic confirms that it's not seaweed and even the<br>
man in the street knows it.<br>
