WTF does this reply have to do with the OP subject matter?
Comedy relief. Sometimes laughing is fun.

A better experiment would be to take a lesser quality bourbon and age it in the barrel and see how it plays out. I’ve done this with Benchmark. Aged it six months in a small barrel and was actually surprised at how much better it tasted after aging.
Did the same with some Signature Reserve from Albertson's. Aged it about 5 months and it was a totally different taste after that and a rather nice pour. Probably 1/4 of a barrel left and I plan on trying a different brand for the second try.
American Oak Barrels

Well the small barrels have a lot more surface contact than the larger oak barrels used for commercial aging so the process goes much quicker.
You can also add oak staves and spin the barrels to speed things up even more.

It would taste like seagrams 7.
Or crown vanilla.
Seriously.
I've done something similar with Everclear.

Yellowfin Vodka sells a vodka aged in oak barrels.

think barrel aged spirits are cut after aging to bring the proof down
I thought it brought the proof up. At least it does with barrel aged beers.

whiskey is corn based alcohol
Good to know that all those whiskeys made from rye, wheat, barley, etc. aren’t whiskeys.

vodka is from potatoes
Only some. The first vodkas were grain-based. Most are today too.

no, whiskey is corn based alcohol
Bourbon is corn based, rye is rye based, wheat whiskey is wheat based, rice whiskey is…you guessed it, rice based

Use malted grain...
Not all whiskeys use malted grains though.

My guess is you would get whatever sins were committed in the production of Devil's River Texas whiskey.

Hush down, child. Sometimes adults get jokes that kids don’t understand.

True but, that's one main difference that OP can employ to make whiskey.

vodka is from potatoes so thats why its so harsh. but that said, i bet if you put it in a charred barrel for 7-12 yrs it would most likely be amazingly smooth compared to any other vodka, and yes it would yellow it.
Maybe 3 distillers in the entire US make vodka from potatoes.
