Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Spread bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
Whisk together milk, eggs, 0.5 cup sugar, 4 tbsp melted butter, and cinnamon-nutmeg until smooth.
Step 4
Pour custard mixture over bread; let soak 10 minutes, stirring gently halfway through.
Step 5
Bake until the center jiggles slightly but edges are set, 30–35 minutes.
Step 6
While pudding bakes, heat 3 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Step 7
Add remaining 0.25 cup sugar; stir until dissolved, about 1 minute.
Step 8
Remove from heat. Slowly pour whiskey down the side of the pan—it will bubble.
Step 9
Stir until smooth. Drizzle warm sauce over hot pudding and serve.
