Liquor reportedly which person's taken to church (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hooch

'liquor' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'reportedly which person's taken to church' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'which person' becomes 'who' (I've seen this before).
'taken to' says to put letters next to each other.
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'who' sounds like 'hoo'.
'hoo'+'ch'='HOOCH'

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

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
