Crossword Genius

Quieter part of distillery (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stiller

'quieter' is the definition.
('still' can be a synonym of 'quiet')

'part of distillery' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'STILLER' is hidden in the letters of 'distillery'.

(Other definitions for stiller that I've seen before include "Calmer" , "Trellis (anag)" , "Moving less" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
