Maybe the bottle needs to be shaken, but the first drink I made, a Three Dots, wasn’t terribly remarkable. So I haven't experienced it myself, but I do know that the flavor is much less subdued compared to St. Elizabeth and that you'd either have to double the amount of Hamilton, or know that it's much more subtle. I think Jason Alexander described St. Elizabeth as one-dimensional in comparison to Hamilton's Allspice dram, so maybe it helps to be super versatile and knowledgable about how to use is rather than a 1-to-1 direct substitution. Just a guess.
