Rye whiskey has a very subtle taste/smell of rye bread. You know that rye bread fragrance? It's in rye whiskey too.
Generally, rye is not aged much, and the less it's aged the more it retains of the natural taste of the grain it was made with. Also, rye does not have to be aged in new oak barrels, so it has much lass oak flavor than Bourbon.
