Type of whiskey ingredient (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

key in

'type' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'of whiskey ingredient' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'KEY IN' can be found hidden inside 'whiskey ingredient'.

(Another definition for key in that I've seen is " Enter data".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
