While I can not give you an exact time, as there are MANY MANY variables involved such as quantity, temperature it's stored in, type of container it's stored in, etc. I would say quite a few years if not several decades(depending on if the seals have been broken). This is namely due to the fact that very few bacteria can survive in an alcohol rich environment.
The alcohol adds flavour and more importantly acts as a preservative. This means Christmas cakes made with the right amount of alcohol such as brandy, whiskey or rum, will last for months some times years. Store the cake wrapped in foil in an airtight tin.

White rum can be used in a rum cake, but it's often not preferred because it has a lighter flavor profile compared to dark or spiced rums. Dark rums typically provide richer, more complex flavors and a deeper color, which enhance the cake's taste and appearance. The caramel notes and aging characteristics of dark rum contribute significantly to the overall depth of flavor in rum cakes. Therefore, while white rum is technically usable, it may not achieve the desired taste experience.
Rum flavoring is a liquid extract that mimics the taste of rum without the alcohol content. It is commonly used in cooking and baking to add a rich, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor to dishes such as cakes, cookies, and sauces. It can also be used in beverages like cocktails and hot drinks.
Sultana raisins in cake, especially fruit cake, adds another flavour to an otherwise dense cake. Also, they release the liquid you soaked them in before hand, so if you want a rum-cake, soak the raisins in rum overnight.
