Note

For best results, use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the syrup.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

If you prefer a stronger whiskey flavor, you can add a splash of actual whiskey to the glaze.

Make sure to butter the baking pan well to prevent the popcorn from sticking.
