Gin rates poorly, and most bitter (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angriest

'most bitter' is the definition.
('angry' can be similar in meaning to 'bitter')

'gin rates poorly' is the wordplay.
'poorly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'gin'+'rates'='ginrates'
'ginrates' with letters rearranged gives 'ANGRIEST'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for angriest that I've seen before include "Extremely mad" , "Most annoyed or hostile" , "Most irate and furious" , "Most wrathful" , "Most characteristic of 1950s young men" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
