Is Leeward Rum just rum from the Leeward Islands? Does this general term usually mean a particular one of those islands? (It just can’t be from the Hawaiian Leeward Islands.)
Does rum being ‟Foreign” have any non-obvious meaning? Dutch? French? Danish?
Are there any non-Foreign non-Leeward rums? Wherefrom?

Leeward rum must come from the Leeward Islands and not from the Hawaiian Leewards. Rum is a Caribbean drink and its manufacture is widespread throughout the islands associated with British colonisation. An example of rum produced in the Caribbean, other than from the Leeward Islands would be rum produced in St Lucia - one of the Windward Islands.
I would speculate that Foreign Rum comes from non-British colonies, such as Martinique or the ABCs.
