Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

When the butter foams up, add carrots. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until liquid from carrots evaporates and carrots begin to brown around the edges, about 6-7 minutes.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Carefully pour in bourbon. Cook and stir until bourbon is almost evaporated, about 3 minutes.

Sprinkle in brown sugar. Stir until carrots are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.

When carrots are nearly tender, raise heat to medium-high to thicken the glaze, about 15-30 seconds.

Season with cayenne pepper and ground black pepper. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
