For an even deeper flavor, try searing the pork loin in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This will add a delicious crust and enhance the overall richness of the dish. Feel free to adjust the amount of bourbon to your liking. For a more pronounced bourbon flavor, you can increase the amount slightly. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount or substitute with apple juice. To add a touch of heat, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the spice rub or a dash of your favorite hot sauce into the bourbon mixture. This pulled pork is also fantastic served over mashed sweet potatoes or creamy polenta. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
