Dispensing tall gin to drunk (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allotting

'dispensing' is the definition.
(allotting is a kind of dispensing)

'tall gin to drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tall'+'gin'+'to'='tallginto'
'tallginto' is an anagram of 'ALLOTTING'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
