I have used witch-hazel and alcohol mix 2 parts witch-hazel 1 part rum and 1 part distilled water, (didnt really care for the taste of this particular rum) and it works pretty good. The scent fades pretty quickly but leaves a verrry little to linger, I finish it off with Old Spice and it goes well together. I bet whiskey would go well with a leather (Spanish or English) aftershave or cologne.
