Whiskey doesn't taste anything like rum, so it's hard to compare. Whiskeys, particularly scotch, have a smokier taste as a result of the aging process in charred oak kegs. Scotch also gets a smokey taste because the grain they use to make it is germinated, and then smoked over peat fires prior to fermentation.

You'll just have to give it a try yourself.
