Businessperson always with hot drink on the go? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distiller

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

'businessperson' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'always with hot drink on the go?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'always' could be 'still' (I've seen this before) and 'still' is located in the answer.
'go?' could be 'die' (synonyms) and 'die' is located in the remaining letters.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for distiller that I've seen before include "One producing alcohol" , "Eg, whisky producer" , "One providing strong drink" , "Drinks producer" , "spirited person?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
