Crossword Genius

Put paid to the whisky (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scotch

I believe this is a double definition.

'put paid to' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'whisky' is the second definition.
(I know that Scotch is a type of whisky)

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scotch that I've seen before include "Type of egg" , "Put an end to - as Jock might?" , "Put an end to the whiskey" , "dish" , "providing nursery facility in school" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
