Upper crust (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elite

'upper crust' is the definition.
(elite is a kind of upper crust)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for elite that I've seen before include "12 letters = 1 inch (type)" , "Identified as the best" , "Exclusive set" , "Aristocratic" , "type in pool?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The New York Times and The Mirror.
