Preparation

Step 1

Set up a charcoal grill for indirect grilling.

Butterfly both tenderloins, open flat, and sprinkle evenly with whiskey. Let sit for 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tsp of the rub on each tenderloin, then divide the mustard and brown sugar evenly between the two tenderloins. Fold back over, wrap 5 pieces of bacon around each tenderloin, and secure bacon slices with toothpicks (soaked in water for 30 minutes). Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat. cook until all combined and syrupy.

Once the grill is hot, put the tenderloin on the hot grate over the drip pan and cook for 1- 1 1/2 hours with the vents open and the lid down. Baste the meat with the glaze after the first 30 minutes, then every 15 minutes after that. Turn meat to get even caramelization on all sides. When finished, let rest for 5 minutes before slicing, then remove the toothpicks and slice thinly. serve warm with my Nashville-style BBQ Sauce on the side.
