Dark coffee liqueur at the bottom, a pale band of Irish cream, then whisky floating on top. The layers make it look more complicated than it is, and it tastes like a strong, sweet iced coffee.

Duck Fart
Sweet coffee and cream at first, then a warming, slightly spicy whisky finish. Smooth but still a strong shot.
The Duck Fart is a layered shot from Alaska. It is commonly said to have been created in Anchorage in the 1980s, and a bar there called the Peanut Farm is often named as its birthplace. The original is usually given with Kahlúa, Baileys and Crown Royal Canadian whisky.
It belongs to the family of layered shots that became popular in the 1970s and 1980s, together with the B-52, which uses the same technique with coffee liqueur, Irish cream and orange liqueur. The unusual name is part of the appeal; no reliable explanation for it exists.
The coffee liqueur is the densest, Irish cream is lighter, and whisky is the lightest because it contains the most alcohol and no sugar.
It is usually credited to Anchorage, Alaska, in the 1980s. The origin of the name is unknown.
Yes. Any smooth whisky works as long as it is poured gently on top.
The perfect sound
A cheeky, sweet party shot among friends.
