Remove top and bottom of pineapple and chop pineapple into chunks of 1 - 1.5". Place pineapple chunks into Ziploc bag or airtight container.
Fill container with a full bottle (750 ml) of Fireball / Cinnamon Whiskey, place in fridge for 24 hours. Save the bottle and cap.
Preheat smoker to 400F
When done marinating, remove from liquid and place the pineapple-infused whiskey back into the bottle. Wrap pineapple chunk in bacon all the way around it with a little left to overlap the bottom. Slice off remaining bacon and use that for your next pineapple.
Once all bacon is wrapped, place on wire rack and place into preheated smoker. Let cook for 50-55 minutes. You're looking for a dark amber color with some crisp on the bacon, but not burnt.
While the bacon is cooking - make your glaze. Combine all glaze ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Once boiled reduce to low heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add cornstarch and water mixture to thicken, remove from heat when glaze is thick to your liking.
When pineapple is done, add glaze to bacon and let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
Remove and let rest to cool for 5-10 minutes, and serve
