1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Press pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate; prick bottom with a fork.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until crust looks dry, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4
Heat whiskey in a small saucepan over very low heat; stir in instant coffee until dissolved. Stir in pecans.
