anybody ever tried substituting whiskey for rum in some of the tiki drinks out there? - Tiki Drinks and Food

Tried it out, and the Eastern Sour indeed tasted pretty much just like a Scorpion Bowl. this gave me the idea that whiskey may work well as a substitute for rum in some tiki drinks, especially those drinks that are heavy in juice and liqueur components. I'm low on rum right now, but well-supplied in bourbon, so i'm going to experiment around with this. the first drink i've tried out worked very well-- the Painkiller. Used Jack Daniels in lieu of a gold/dark rum, and the flavor profile changed very little (I typically use 2 oz booze in my painkiller). any ideas for other rum tiki drinks that would work well using whiskey instead?
