Cry from Jay, possibly about whiskey (3)
I believe the answer is:
caw
'cry from jay' is the definition.
'caw' can be an answer for 'cry' (caw is a kind of cry). I am not certain of the 'from jay' bit.
'about whiskey' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'ca' (circa).
'whiskey' becomes 'W' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'ca'+'w'='CAW'
'possibly' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caw that I've seen before include "Crow's cry" , "Call like rook" , "Sound made by a crow, say" , "Rook's call" , "Rook's cry" .)
