Their prices are nothing to write home about though. Vintage Wine and Spirits in Mill Valley has a fairly good premium rum selection (and a very good bourbon and rye selection). They have Rhum St. James Hors D'Age for $32.99. The biggest selection of booze I have seen locally is at Ledger's in Berkeley on University, and at Weimax in Burlingame. Both have more variety than John Walker's but I have not checked out Beltramo's. Bevmo stores vary greatly. The Oakland Jack London Square location has an abysmal selection of booze. The San Pablo Ave. location in Albany has a slightly better selection, and the one in San Rafael has a pretty good selection. But, the Trader Vic's premium dark is not at any of them while TraderJonah was able to find it at a Bevmo somewhere. I check Long's drug store weekly for big discounts on everyday (well, everyday for some of us) booze like bourbon (Maker's and Evan Williams), blended scotch, gin, and some rums (Myers's and Bacardi can go as low as $14.99 for a 1.5 liter bottle or $9.99 for a 750ml bottle). I recently bought a bottle of Southern Comfort for the occasional cocktail at a low price of $9.99.
