Good old man receiving censure for spirit, ... (6)
I believe the answer is:
grappa
'spirit' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'good old man receiving censure' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'old man' becomes 'pa' (both can mean father).
'receiving' indicates putting letters inside.
'censure' becomes 'rap' (I've seen this before).
'g'+'pa'='gpa'
'gpa' enclosing 'rap' is 'GRAPPA'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for grappa that I've seen before include "Italian brandy distilled from grape lees" , "Brandy from fermented pressed grape residue" , "Italian liqueur made from residue of grapes after pressing" , "Spirit distilled from grapes" , "Form of brandy" .)
