The 2005 Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Four Grain Batch #1 is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item and the inaugural release in the brand's Master's Collection series. It is available from specialized online retailers, where it commands a premium price due to its scarcity.

This expression was the first four-grain, 100% copper pot-distilled bourbon released by the distillery in many decades. It was a Kentucky-only limited release, aged for nine years in American white oak barrels, and bottled at 46.2% ABV (92.4 proof).

• Mash Bill: The four grains used are corn, malted barley, rye, and wheat.
• Nose: It has pleasant aromas of dark cherries, candied oranges, cocoa powder, pepper, clove, nutmeg, and cedar wood.
• Palate: Reviewers note rich oak, cinnamon, clove, and tobacco box fading into robust dried dark fruit notes like raisin and dried cranberry, with a smooth, buttery texture.
• Finish: The finish is described as smooth, long-lasting, and polished, with lingering bright spice and berry fruit notes.
