That's similar to the constant divide between the two camps of taxonomists , the "lumpers" & the "splitters". Some (me included) take your approach. Others think a "5" only goes to the one, the best of the best.

So far, I haven't given any straight 5s, just in a particular category. Maybe I should?Not sure. Need more points of reference, in some cases, and may go back & revise. Just found BA, and other such things about four years ago, so when looking at coolers/shelves of beer, I usually didn't even have any idea as to which ones might have a chance to produce such an experience. Also, here in the hinterlands a lot of candidates never show up, or only recently started appearing.

The question I ask myself when considering is Could this be any better? If the answer is "No.", then 5 it is.
