Note
The strangeness here is British and dated. The base adjective means odd or peculiar, so this form suits period dialogue or knowingly old-fashioned humor better than everyday speech. Notice the doubled m before the ending. It has nothing to do with rum the drink, which takes no degrees of comparison. An older sense of rum meaning "fine" or "excellent" is obsolete, so today the word reads only as "strangest."
