Where you may find rum and whiskey quarters (8)
I believe the answer is:
barracks
'quarters' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barracks that I've seen before include "Large block" , "Military encampment" , "private housing" , "Military quarters" , "men who fight in houses here" .)
