Henry rings church for liquor (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hooch

'liquor' is the definition.
(I know that hooch is a type of liquor)

'henry rings church' is the wordplay.
'henry' becomes 'H' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance).
'rings' becomes 'oo' (multiple circles).
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'h'+'oo'+'ch'='HOOCH'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hooch that I've seen before include "Illicitly distilled spirit" , "Illicit alcohol" , "alcoholic drink" , "moonshine" , "Strong illicit liquor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
