In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cocoa and salt. Add to butter mixture, and stir until combined. Pour and evenly spread into a 9x13 pan lined with parchment or foil. Bake 25-30 minutes, shorter for gooier consistency.

Melt butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in cocoa, half n half, and whiskey. Add sugar 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour over brownies immediately.
