Stick snout over Irish whiskey (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jameson

'irish whiskey' is the definition.
(I know that Jameson is a whisky)

'stick snout over' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'jam' (I've seen this in other clues).
'snout' becomes 'nose' (informal term for nose).
'over' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'nose' back-to-front is 'eson'.
'jam'+'eson'='JAMESON'

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
