Crossword Genius

But there is no whisky in this bar snack (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scotch egg

'bar snack' is the definition.
(a Scotch egg might be eaten in a pub)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for scotch egg that I've seen before include "It is enclosed in sausage meat" , "Savoury snack" , "One cased in sausage meat" , "Hard-boiled item in sausage meat" , "nibble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
