Rum lot I threw out due to agitation (7)
I believe the answer is:
turmoil
'agitation' is the definition.
(I know that agitation can be written as turmoil)
'rum lot i threw out' is the wordplay.
'threw out' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'throws out' mean this).
'rum'+'lot'+'i'='rumloti'
'rumloti' with letters rearranged gives 'TURMOIL'.
'due to' is the link.
(Other definitions for turmoil that I've seen before include "Chaos" , "agitating activity" , "Uproar" , "Tumult, upheaval" , "Disquiet" .)
