Like an egg from Islay? (6)
I believe the answer is:
scotch
This clue might be a double definition.
'like an egg' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'islay?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scotch that I've seen before include "Put an end to - in Glasgow? (6)" , "Whisky (not whiskey!)" , "Kill in Caledonia?" , "strong drink!" , "See 1" .)
