Answer
It is impermissible to consume this product irrespective of the amount of rum content and whether it intoxicates the consumer or not. Rum is such a beverage that is manufactured and consumed with the intention of intoxication, hence even if a small amount is added to the product it would be impermissible to consume regardless of which source the alcohol was derived from.
