Rum, but also Swedish vodka (7)

I believe the answer is:

absolut

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'swedish vodka' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'rum but also' is the wordplay.
'rum' indicates anagramming the letters (rum can mean strange or unusual).
'but'+'also'='butalso'
'butalso' is an anagram of 'ABSOLUT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
