Scotch barely open, flipping rubbish party folds (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torpedo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'scotch barely' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'open flipping rubbish party folds' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'party' could be 'do' (do can informally mean a party) and 'do' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for torpedo that I've seen before include "attack" , "To wreck" , "ruin" , "Self-propelled marine weapon" , "Trooped (anag.)" .)
