In a medium bowl, mix together the coarsely cut pecan pieces, 1/4 cup of your honey (save the rest for later), Bourbon (if using), salt, and nutmeg until combined. Roast the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 30 minutes--about halfway through the baking, use a spatula to flip the pieces so they don't scorch. The nuts should be dry and crunchy but don't let them get blackened.
