Instructions
Make the Pork
- Rinse and pat dry the pork.
- Generously rub the spice rub all over the meat.

- Cover and cook for 8-10 hours on low.
- When done, remove from the pot using tongs.
- Allow to drain slightly.
- Place the pork in a serving bowl and using 2 forks, shred the meat to desired chunk size.
Make the BBQ Sauce
- While the pork is cooking in a medium sauce pan whisk together the bbq sauce, whiskey, water, smoke, paprika, onion powder, cayenne, salt and pepper.
- Bring the sauce to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer stirring occasionally until thickened. ~30 minutes.
Dress the Shredded Pork
- Pour 2-2 1/2 cups of the bbq sauce on top and gently mix. You don’t want to soak it in the sauce but rather just get it infused with the flavors. It should be just wet.
- Reserve the remaining sauce for drizzles and dippings.
