Nope def with you on this. Compared two bottles of bunnahabhain 12 recently. One black label, 1 red, both opened by myself recently. One notably more astringent with a bitter woody finish, the other felt it had a higher sherry influence. Both same abv, non chill filtered, non coloured etc. I like both, but no doubt they taste different.

My impression is that there's more variability between bottles of the same whisky these days than in the past - though i've no real evidence to back it up. I've kind of assumed that the majority of distilleries are increasing production, which results in some differences. I may just be making this up in my head though...
