Not blasphemy. Old bay is great in bloody Marys, but store bought mixers are almost always inferior to a homemade version.

Edit: I will usually make a pitcher of bloody Mary mix using spicy V8 or low sugar tomato juice, horse radish, black pepper, lemon/lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, red miso paste, old bay, a decent hot sauce (but cayenne pepper or Tabasco works in a pinch), and sometimes pickle juice. I serve the pitcher virgin with liquor on the side so people can pour their own ratios, The ingredients ratio is largely to taste when I do this.

It's not just inferior to homemade, it's inferior to any mix I have had. It's so bad, it's one of those products that makes you shake your head and wonder what was going on at McCormick that this is the final product they rolled out.

Perhaps, I'm not a fan of mixers, I almost always rather have a drink made with fresh ingredients. So I wouldn't know how it compares to other mixers, I don't have any mixers in my bar.
