Crossword Genius

Greedy person (female), notice, produces a large cask (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hogshead

'a large cask' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'greedy person female notice' is the wordplay.
'greedy person' becomes 'hog' (I've seen this before).
'female' becomes 'she' (I've seen this before).
'notice' becomes 'ad'.
'hog'+'she'+'ad'='HOGSHEAD'

'produces' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hogshead that I've seen before include "lot of drink" , "Much wine" , "Provider of brawn" , "barrel" , "Large cask for alcohol" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
