The Barbary Coast is, well, interesting, and it is not going to be to everyone's liking. I do, however, think this is a drink to give a shot because it is a unique flavor. The sweet ingredients create a smooth, creamy base while the gin and Scotch add the character the drink needs for balance. Without the characteristics of those two ingredients the drink would be boring and just another overly sweet drink. One thing I do recommend is to use a Scotch with a more subtle character like those from the Lowland or Highland regions. Any of the heavy peated Scotches will be too much of a contrast to the gin in particular.
