In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, pineapple juice, and water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Add the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice, diced onion, and whiskey to the saucepan. Stir the mixture to combine.
Mix in the crushed pineapple, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the glaze from sticking to the pan.
The glaze is done when it becomes thick and syrupy. Remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
