Put the lid on strong drink (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scotch

I believe this is a double definition.

'put the lid on' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'strong drink' is the second definition.
(Scotch is an example)

(Other definitions for scotch that I've seen before include "Put an end to the whiskey" , "Put an end to - in Glasgow? (6)" , "Put an end to - drink" , "Cut - wedge - whisky" , "Put an end to - whisky spelt thus?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
