Crossword Genius

Grain in granary, evidently! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rye

'grain' is the definition.
(rye is a kind of grain)

'in granary evidently' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RYE' is hidden within 'granary evidently'.

(Other definitions for rye that I've seen before include "Cereal - liquor" , "Whisky; Sussex town" , "J D Salinger novel 'The Catcher in the ...'" , "Hard liquor" , "old port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
