There aren't really smoky bourbons (except for a few one offs that have all disappointed me). You can get spicy and hot with some cash strength ryes for sure.
For the scotch you want something from the Islay area as those are the smoky/peaty ones. For smoky and hot I would recommend the Laphroig Cash Strength or Quarter Cask Cask Strength as those have a little punch to them along with the peat.
