Explanation
The answer to the Old priest, rudely disturbed? Not the best! is DRUID.
In cryptic crosswords, clues often consist of two parts: a definition and a wordplay component. In this clue, "Old priest" is the definition. A druid was a member of the ancient Celtic priesthood, which fits the description of an "old priest." The wordplay part of the clue is "rudely disturbed," which suggests an anagram.
The letters of the word "RUDELY" can be rearranged (or "disturbed") to spell "DRUID." The phrase "Not the best!" serves as a bit of a misdirection, implying that the solution might not be the highest quality or something less conventional, but it ultimately reinforces the notion of something being unusual or "old," aligning with the concept of a druid.
