Would Aged Vodka Become Whisky?

Okay, I know it's not that simple, but recently I tasted some "rye vodka" as it was being distilled and wondered what would happen if it was put in a barrel and aged. Aside from the differences in making Scotch versus Bourbon or other "Whiskies" ... what would actually happen if you aged a decent pot stilled vodka?
 
It would have a richer taste for sure, maybe share some similarities with whisky but ultimately I don't think it would turn into it necessarily.
