American tipple (7)

I believe the answer is:

bourbon

(Other definitions for bourbon that I've seen before include "American whiskey - French royal house" , "Henry of Navarre, for one" , "American whisky; biscuit" , "Chocolate-flavoured biscuit" , "Rye whiskey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
