Sample of Grand Cru incomparable to Scotch (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruin

'scotch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sample of grand cru incomparable' is the wordplay.
'sample of' indicates a hidden word (I've seen this in other clues).
'RUIN' can be found hidden inside 'grand cru incomparable'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ruin that I've seen before include "Physical collapse" , "Destruction or bankruptcy" , "Disaster, collapse" , "Complete collapse or destruction" , "Defeat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
