I don't think I would describe Lagavulin 16 as a "Spices whisky", which makes it difficult to suggest similar bottles... For me, Speyside whisky contains spices (most common are vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, mint sometimes). These spicy notes are highlighted in New Oak or Virgin Oak casks, so you may want to track some of these (check BenRiach, Glenmorangie, GlenDronach). Japanese Nikka Yoichi tends to be spicy as well.

@airedeldesierto I agree with WhiskyNotes, spice wouldn't be the first thing that springs to mind when talking about Lagavulin - I wonder if what you actually mean is peaty or smoky? In which case you've started with a good one. Try the other Islay distilleries Ardbeg, Caol Ila, Laphroaig etc. Also look at Talisker which is less peaty but has some pepper and salt so that probably counts as smoky and spicy!

@Piero Yes maybe I dont explain well , about confusion in Lagavulin is a spice whisky ... maybe I want to say ... I looking for a Caracteristic Spice Whisky. I see in reviews used the term Hot spices and Spices ... Lavagulin is a complex Whisky , but not spice for me ... Now I have some Islay Smoky whiskys and some Japanese frutty , and Dalmore and Balveine and Macallan for understard the term Sherry Oak I need something for undertand Spices Whiskys, :) A very Caracteristic Spice Whisky ....

Thanks !
