Hoisin and Bourbon-Glazed Pork Tenderloin

This recipe is from Cooking Light. We loved it and make it regularly now. It's one that does not require marinating for hours before hand, yet the flavors are very tasty - a combination of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. The prep time does not include time to get the grill ready.
