Track English whisky (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rye

'whisky' is the definition.
(rye is a kind of whisky)

'track english' is the wordplay.
'track' becomes 'RY' (abbreviation for railway).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'ry'+'e'='RYE'

(Other definitions for rye that I've seen before include "Grain - whiskey - port" , "New York bread" , "American whisky" , "Grain used in flour and whiskey" , "Burns's body came through" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
