Preheat oven to 350°F. Fit pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges decoratively. Refrigerate while you make the filling.

Whisk eggs thoroughly in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and bourbon until fully combined and the sugar has mostly dissolved.

Scatter pecan halves over the bottom of the chilled crust — arrange some neatly on top for a beautiful presentation. Pour the filling evenly over the pecans; the pecans will float to the surface and form a gorgeous mosaic. Bake at 350°F for 55–65 minutes until the center barely jiggles when shaken (it will firm up as it cools) and the top is a deep, caramelized brown. Cool completely at room temperature, at least 3 hours, before slicing. Serve with whipped cream.
