Burnt Wash & Stripping Run

I made a 100% Rye malt wash. It was so thick it burnt the botoom of the mashtun when raising to conversion temp. Ferment was like a rocket with Whiskey Pure AG. I did the stripping run and the bottom of the keg also burnt. I cleaned up the keg and did the spirit run and it still smells and tastes like cigarettes but got somewhat better. I'm aging now on sticks but I don't know if the taste will improve enough.

Is there anything I could do to save this batch?
