As Salty Dog said, rye whiskey should be spicier than bourbon or other types of whiskeys. Bourbon with high wheat content in the mash bill will be sweeter than others - think Maker's Mark, Larceny, the Weller/Pappy line, Old Fitzgerald, Rebel Yell and anything labeled as being a "wheated" bourbon - 1792's Sweet Wheat variant, Redemption wheated bourbon, etc.
Sugarcane is mostly used for rum and cachaca, from what I know. I believe there are some sugarcane based vodkas, as well, but less common.
