Mix the Glaze
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Arrange the bacon strips on the wire rack and brush them generously with the bourbon glaze.

Bake the Bacon
Bake the bacon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is crispy and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
