A writer’s bar bursting with muscatel (6,5)

I believe the answer is:

albert camus

'a writer's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bar bursting with muscatel' is the wordplay.
'bursting with' indicates an anagram.
'bar' with its letters mixed up with 'muscatel' makes 'ALBERT CAMUS'.

(Other definitions for albert camus that I've seen before include "novelist" , "writer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
