Argonauts set off in some sort of bark? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angostura

'some sort of bark?' is the definition.

'argonauts set off' is the wordplay.
'set off' indicates an anagram.
'argonauts' is an anagram of 'ANGOSTURA'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for angostura that I've seen before include "Bitter flavouring for Argonauts" , "Bitter bark of a South American tree, used in liqueurs" , "An aromatic bark, made bitter tonic" , "bitter source" , "Bitter stuff for Argonauts" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
