Talk whimsy about superior drink? (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

malt whisky

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

'superior drink?' is the definition.
'malt whisky' can be an answer for 'drink?' (malt whisky is a kind of drink). I'm unsure of the 'superior' bit.

'talk whimsy about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'talk'+'whimsy'='talkwhimsy'
'talkwhimsy' with letters rearranged gives 'MALT WHISKY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for malt whisky that I've seen before include "nightcap" , "Distilled spirit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
