I am in favor of factual accuracy as much as possible, but the background information should hopefully have no impact on a tasting result.

Maybe, but I feel that prior information can result in perceptions that are the result of the power of suggestion. Like for example, if you believe that Smith & Cross is mainly Hampden, you'll feel like you're tasting Hampden characteristics, when in reality, it's not just that. That's why blind tastings are so significant, because our brain can (and does!) inform a lot of our palate.
