• Make the pork: butterfly the pork loin-using a very sharp knife, cut the roast almost in half lengthwise through one side (stop about 1-inch from the opposite side).
• Open the roast up as you would a book.
• Sprinkle the inside of the roast with 1 tablespoon of the whiskey; let is marinate for 5 minutes.
