Melt 2 T. butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add carrots before butter begins to brown; saute for 6 - 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and starting to get tender. Transfer carrots to a large dish; set aside.
Return skillet to the heat; reduce heat to medium. Add bourbon; cook, stirring to de-glaze the skillet. It will reduce a lot and almost disappear. Add remaining butter and brown sugar to the skillet; stir; add browned carrots; bring to a good simmer. Reduce heat to low; cover; cook 3 - 4 minutes or until carrots are fork tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a serving dish. Serve garnished with chives.
