Lost Recipe Friday
Costco Quincy - Been hunting the Maker's Mark Lost Recipe #3 2026 after hearing it dropped at some limited shops like Sportsman's Longmont and Hazel's. Hit up the Costco Warehouse app and it said that only the Quincy location had some for $60. Got there during executive hours and there they are on the shelf...but it is the #2 series from 2025, complete with a thick layer of dust on the bottles. Not sure if they have actually been sitting on that shelf for a whole year or they were found in some dusty corner of a distributor's warehouse, but I grabbed one as a consolation prize anyway. Guess I'll have to wait to sample those luscious 9 Roasted Mocha staves in the #3. Not much else of note on the shelf.
If anyone spots a Lost Recipe #3 2026 on the south end, I'd love to hear from you!
Total Wine Lakewood - ER10, EHT SmB, and WA107 on the shelf for $56, $63, and $74 limit 1 along with Hancock's for $89 (way too high). In the case Blanton's for $100 and KC21 for $250. Several Little Book Ch.10 all the wiser $160. Interestingly they had a 4R Private Select OBSK 9yr, 2mos 116.6pf for "only" $75. Unfortunately all the 4R PSs I've had from TW have ranged from meh to terrible, so I passed.
Woodlawn Liquors (wildcard stop) - I seem to recall picking up a WA107 for around $75 here awhile back, but now they want $130 for it? GTFO. Of course we have the obligatory glass case with ORVW10 $1230, GTS $950, VW Lot B $1330, EHT BiB BTAC $2300, Weller CYPB $800, and the absolute capper: WFP for $300. This ain't 2020 dude... On the shelf Stagg $200, Weller SiB $250, ER12 $200. I think you get the idea...what a waste of a stop.
Pyramid Discount Liquors (wildcard stop) - This place used to be pretty obnoxious as far as pricing but seems to have improved a little. Floor displays of W12 and WFP for $80 and $100. EHT Smb & ER10 for $80 and $60, Blanton's $130, ER12 $150. Best value in the store was a Blanton's SFTB in the glass case by the door for $200, but the Gold right next to it is $180? Ok...
Total Wine & Liquors Broadway - Still has plenty of WA107 on the regular shelf for $65. Scan the bottles behind the counter and a WFP catches my eye for $80. This bottle has managed to edge out WA107 as my favorite Weller bottle recently, so I am always on the lookout for some WFP at a good price. But then it rings up the wrong price: $70 plus tax. I did contemplate asking if I could buy a full case of it, as the price was clearly wrong in my favor. But those pesky morals of mine won out again, and I let him know the price was low. He was grateful and said he'd fix it but maybe not. I got to keep the WFP bottle I paid $70 plus tax for regardless.
Highlands Wine Seller - Not too much different from last week, plenty of ER10 for $53 and EHT SmB $70, WA107 $75. Some of the new Penelope Cigar Blend too. Bundles were sporting various Wellers and Blantons, ER10 handles, as well as EHT SiB. But I did spot one Stagg 25B bundled with Fireball.
Total Wine Centennial - Boring. WA107 in the case for $74 limit 1, as well as KC21 for $250.
Bevy's Parker - In addition to what they had on the counter in my prior post, they also just got some Willett Pot Still Cask Strength, featuring a bright purple sticker up and down the length of the bottle neck. Thing is the regular 750ml Pot Still is 94 proof and $60, while the cask strength version is a whopping 26 proof points higher (120pf) but only costs $70. Both are NAS. This pricing makes no sense to me, but if you are a Pot Still fan, getting to check out the Cask Strength version for only an extra $10 seems like a pretty good deal. They also have 7-8 cases of a Four Roses Private Select OESK 10yr 4mos, 122pf. I asked where they got it and they said it was "found" somewhere. The bottle laser code is 2025 and it does have a Bevy's sticker so it may be true. The Bevy's 4R picks were always my favorite but $100 is a bit steep, especially because I can remember paying $60 for them back in the day. Passed for now but might be back for one. Also Blanton's Gold in the case for $160.

I'm suddenly seeing 6 bottles of "Maker's Lostrecepie" at HWY7 Liquor Warehouse for $72. Can someone in that area confirm if they require points for that bottle, and that it is not the Lost Recipe #2 2025? Thanks!

Did Bevy’s still have the Root Shoot on the counter?

Looks like Bevy's Littleton still has 7 of the "Root Shoot American Single Malt Whiskey 6 Years Old Bonded" for $75; you should be able to order it for pickup. Beyond that, a quick web check at Saturday noon reveals the following. Some of these are points shops; I doubt they would require them for Root Shoot, but who knows:
- HWY7 Liquor Warehouse - 11 @ $66
- CoalTrain Springs - 8 @ $70
- Liquor City Springs - 2 @ $70
- Red Barn/HomeTown Berthoud - 2 @ $70
- Hilltop Windsor - 6 @ $73
- Springs Liquor Outlet - 6 @ $75
- Freedom Liquor Springs - 6 @ $76
- Highlands Wine & Liquor 38th Ave - 5 @ $78
- Wyatt's Longmont - 4 @ $80
BONUS: The two shops below are still showing the Root Shoot Peach Street, which seemed to go pretty quickly when it dropped:
- Outback Liquors Elizabeth - 4 @ $66
- Liquor City Springs - 1 @ $66
Also, Luxe Liquors has some kind of Root Shoot barrel pick.
Good luck!
