One aromatic berry, despite a name that sounds like a spice blend.

Is allspice a mixture?

Allspice is a single spice with a warm aroma reminiscent of several spices. It is distinct from black pepper and mixed seasoning. Check the ingredient name rather than substituting a blend.

Whole berries or ground?

Whole spices suit longer infusions; ground spices spread throughout the liquid and are harder to remove. Use the form stated in the recipe, and keep the jar closed away from heat and moisture.
