Since I have to factor shipping into this, I did a web search to determine if this really is as good a deal as it seems.

I discovered four things:

PyRAT is also short for Python Relational Animal Tracking

http://www.scionics.de/pyrat.html

877spirits.com want $44 for the same bottle.

Most other places have prices similar to BevMo's usual (non-sale) price of a bit under $20.

This is (inexplicably) both the cheapest and least common of Pyrat's four varieties of rum.

The best price anywhere (non-sale) is Sams, here in Chicago, who's usual price is $16.49.

...thus, adding shipping, but deleting sales tax, the BevMo sale price is the best you'll do.
