I think the whiskey in itself(with perhaps some glycerin) is a fine aftershave. The bay leafs in Bay Rum are aromatic(and have some topical properties) mostly. And using a lot of spices makes the Bay Rum smell great.

But(good) whiskey is different, in that IMO it is drunk mostly straight up, maybe just some whiskey+lemon peel+ginger will make a good aftershave.

Maybe an Islay(smokey) whisky will be suited the best for this, as it is the furthest removed from rum and has really specific(MANLY!!!!) aroma's.

Well... I'm gonna marinate on it.
