Gossip has alcoholic drink belonging to us (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rumour

'gossip' is the definition.
(rumouring is a kind of gossiping)

'alcoholic drink belonging to us' is the wordplay.
'alcoholic drink' becomes 'rum' (I've seen this before).
'belonging to us' becomes 'our' (I've seen this before).
'rum'+'our'='RUMOUR'

'has' is the link.

(Other definitions for rumour that I've seen before include "Story going around" , "Unconfirmed gossip" , "Doubtful story" , "Information that may well not be true" , "Report of doubtful truth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
