Peel the mangos and remove the pits. Put the pits in a slow cooker, then roughly chop the mango and set it aside. Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and season with pepper, salt, and 1 teaspoon chipotle powder. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and water.

While the pork cooks, blend the chopped mango in a blender until smooth, then pour it into a saucepan with the honey, remaining chipotle powder, and whiskey. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until the mango has reduced and darkened slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir in the barbecue sauce and remove from the heat.
