A standard bottle of Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select costs somewhere between $28 and $40 in the United States, £28 and £38 in the United Kingdom, and roughly ₹4,800 to ₹8,000 in India, where state excise rules make a bigger difference than anything else. Those are wide ranges, but they reflect real variation in taxes, retailers, and promotions rather than any scarcity in supply.
Woodford Reserve is not an allocated bourbon. Brown-Forman makes and ships a great deal of it, which means you should be able to find a bottle without much effort and you should not have to pay a premium to a retailer who knows you are struggling to find one. If a shop is asking well above the ranges above, it is worth walking down the street.
Below is a breakdown of what you can expect to pay across the three markets, how the different bottle sizes compare on value, and which retailers are actually worth your time. Prices were checked in July 2026 and will shift with promotions and duty changes, so treat them as a guide rather than a guarantee.
Why Woodford Reserve Is So Well Loved
Woodford Reserve is made at the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Versailles, Kentucky, a stone-built site with a distilling history reaching back to the early nineteenth century. It sold 1.8 million nine-liter cases in 2025, a decline of just 0.6% on the previous year, which is a solid result given how tough the wider whiskey market has been.
The standard bottling is Distiller’s Select, a Kentucky straight bourbon at 45.2% ABV (43.2%) for European markets, built on a mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley. With a profile of honey, cocoa, dried fruit, toasted oak, and a good amount of rye spice, it drinks well neat and holds its shape in an Old Fashioned, making it a bartender staple.
Double Oaked matures that same bourbon a second time in a deeply toasted, lightly charred new oak barrel, adding chocolate, honey, and heavier caramel sweetness. As Woodford’s first permanent line extension, it helped establish second-barrel finishing as a mainstream category.
The wider range includes a Rye, a Malt, a Wheat Whiskey, the annual Master’s Collection, the Distillery Series, and the Baccarat Edition, which launched at $1,500. Distiller’s Select and Double Oaked remain the two most people buy.
How Much Is a Bottle of Woodford Reserve?
In the United States, the MSRP for a 750ml bottle of Distiller’s Select is around $35-$40, but you can find it cheaper. Total Wine lists it at $27.99, and most liquor stores sit somewhere in the low thirties. Anything between $28 and $40 is normal.
In the UK, the 70cl bottle carries a list price of around £37.50 and is discounted more often than not. The Whisky Exchange lists it as £36.75, whilst Master of Malt currently lists at a reduced price of £32.50. Tesco has run a £27 Clubcard price and Morrisons has offered it at £28, down from £38. Worth noting that UK bottles are 70cl rather than 750ml, so per milliliter they are a little dearer than they first appear.
Indian pricing depends almost entirely on which state you are buying in. Retail sits near ₹5,530 in Mumbai and Kolkata, around ₹6,500 in Delhi, ₹7,045 in Bengaluru, and close to ₹7,970 in Chennai.
Double Oaked costs more everywhere: roughly $41 to $61 in the US, and £45 to £57 in the UK, with Tesco’s £45 Clubcard price undercutting the specialists.
For context, Maker’s Mark runs around $30 and Knob Creek around $35, so Woodford sits at the upper end of the everyday premium tier without straying into collector territory.
The variation comes from tax. US prices differ between control and license states. UK spirits duty rose 3.66% on February 1, 2026, to £33.99 per liter of pure alcohol, with VAT charged on top. India applies state excise on top of federal customs duty, though bourbon specifically saw its customs duty cut from 150% to 100% in February 2025.

What’s the Biggest Bottle You Can Buy?
The largest standard size is the 1.75L bottle, sold in the US and often called a half-gallon. Woodford does not release the range in anything larger.
Using Total Wine prices for Distiller’s Select, the value picture looks like this:
200ml — $12.49, about $62 per liter
375ml — $22.99, about $61 per liter
750ml — $27.99, about $37 per liter
1L — $45.99, about $46 per liter
1.75L — $46.99, about $27 per liter
The 1.75L is the obvious pick if you drink Woodford regularly, working out around 28% cheaper per milliliter than the 750ml. The 1L bottle prices oddly at Total Wine and is more commonly found in travel retail and duty-free, which is also where UK buyers will usually come across it.
Special editions rarely appear in the larger format. Double Oaked is sold in 1L at Total Wine for $71.99, but you will not find it, or the Master’s Collection, in a 1.75L bottle.
Where to Buy Woodford Reserve
United States. Total Wine usually has the lowest shelf price and a stock checker for your nearest branch. ReserveBar handles engraving and gift packaging, and owns Minibar Delivery for same-day orders. Costco and Sam’s Club tend to be cheapest on the 1.75L.
United Kingdom. Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Morrisons, and Asda all carry the 70cl bottle, and most stock Double Oaked. Buying on promotion rather than at list price is the easiest way to save money. The Whisky Exchange and Master of Malt hold the fuller range, including the Rye and Master’s Collection releases. Amazon UK often undercuts both.
India. Availability depends on your state. Licensed shops and hotel retail are the usual routes, with legal online delivery in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi, West Bengal, and Odisha among others. Swiggy sells through its Wine Shops category in several eastern states, and Living Liquidz covers Mumbai and Pune. If you are flying in, duty-free is the best value, with the 1L bottle around ₹4,851 in Mumbai and ₹6,090 at Delhi Duty Free.
The Bottom Line
In the US, treat $40 as your ceiling for the 750ml and buy the 1.75L if Woodford is a regular pour, since the saving per milliliter is worth the outlay. In the UK, wait for a supermarket promotion rather than paying list, and check Tesco before the specialists on Double Oaked. In India, your state sets the price, so if you are traveling internationally the duty-free bottle is the one to pick up.
Woodford Reserve has held its position for close to thirty years without becoming scarce or expensive, and it remains one of the more dependable bourbons you can buy at this level.
