Aristocrat's sweet, giving drugs away (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toff

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'aristocrat's' is the definition.
(toff can mean an upper-class person)

'sweet giving drugs away' is the wordplay.
'sweet giving drugs' becomes 't' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'away' becomes 'off' (synonyms).
't'+'off'='TOFF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toff that I've seen before include "Rich person (colloq.)" , "Nob" , "Posh bloke (sl)" , "A swell" , "Rich or upper-class person" .)
