About Bonds of London Blackcurrant & Liquorice
About Bonds of London Blackcurrant & Liquorice
Blackcurrant and liquorice is not a flavour combination that needs explaining to anyone who grew up in Britain. It is just the one that lived in a jar on the sweetshop counter, or rattled around in a paper bag on the way home from school, and it is exactly what Bonds of London Blackcurrant & Liquorice delivers in this 120g bag.
These are boiled sweets with a blackcurrant shell and a liquorice centre. Dark, fruity on the outside, properly liquorice in the middle, and not especially interested in modernising. The format is the classic Bonds bag: straightforward, familiar, no fuss.
Bonds of London has been making British sweets like these for a very long time, and the blackcurrant and liquorice combination is one of those things that has survived entirely on the strength of people actually wanting it. The Great British Shop stocks this 120g bag as an imported UK sweet for anyone in Canada who knows exactly what they are looking for and does not want a substitute.
If blackcurrant and liquorice sweets are a specific memory rather than a general craving, this is the one. Imported from the United Kingdom and available to order online in Canada, no suitcase required.

Frequently asked questions about Bonds of London Blackcurrant & Liquorice
Q: What do Bonds of London Blackcurrant & Liquorice sweets taste like?
A: Each sweet has a dark, fruity blackcurrant shell on the outside and a liquorice centre, with aniseed oil in the ingredients giving the liquorice note a little extra depth. It is the kind of flavour pairing that has been in British sweetshops for decades precisely because it works: sharp and fruity on the way in, then that familiar dark, slightly bitter liquorice finish. Not subtle, and not trying to be.
Q: Are Bonds of London Blackcurrant & Liquorice sweets suitable for vegetarians?
A: Yes, Bonds of London Blackcurrant & Liquorice sweets are suitable for vegetarians. The 120g bag does contain milk and soya, so it is not suitable for anyone avoiding dairy or soya. There is no gelatine in the ingredients list, which is worth knowing if you have been caught out by other boiled sweets before.
Q: What is the nostalgic appeal of blackcurrant and liquorice boiled sweets for British shoppers in Canada?
A: Blackcurrant and liquorice is one of those combinations that sits very specifically in British sweetshop memory: the kind of thing you would find loose in a paper bag from a pick-and-mix counter rather than in a foil wrapper trying to be sophisticated. Bonds of London has been making classic bagged sweets since 1895, and for British expats in Canada, this 120g bag is less about finding something new and more about finding exactly the thing they already knew.
More about Bonds of London Blackcurrant & Liquorice
Bonds of London Blackcurrant & Liquorice sits in a particular corner of the British confectionery world: the traditional boiled sweet category, where fruit shells meet darker, more complex centres. It is the kind of sweet that shares shelf space with pear drops, cola cubes and aniseed balls, all of them built on the same principle of simplicity done consistently over many years.
For British expats in Canada, blackcurrant and liquorice is one of those combinations that does not translate easily into a local equivalent. It is not that nothing similar exists; it is that this specific pairing carries a very particular memory, and the memory is what people are actually looking for when they search for British sweets in Canada.
The 120g bag is a sensible size: enough to satisfy a craving or share around, small enough to tuck into a gift box alongside other British confectionery. The sweets keep well at room temperature, so there is no urgency once the bag arrives, which makes them a reliable choice for posting on to someone else.
Bonds produces a wide range of traditional British sweets in formats like this, covering everything from fruit salads to mint imperials. The full Bonds in Canada range is worth a look if blackcurrant and liquorice is just the starting point, and the broader British sweets collection covers the wider category.
Orders ship from within Canada, so whether someone in Vancouver is restocking a familiar cupboard or a Torontonian is putting together a British-themed gift, the parcel does not have to cross an ocean to get there.

The story of Bonds of London Blackcurrant & Liquorice
By Aaron A. | October 23, 2025
The jar your gran went for
Every sweet shop had a row of jars behind the counter, and somewhere in that row sat blackcurrant and liquorice, the one your gran always picked and you secretly wanted too. You pointed, someone weighed out a quarter, and the paper bag was half empty before you reached the end of the road. Bonds of London is known for exactly that kind of jar, which is why this bag feels less like shopping and more like being handed your pocket money back.
Read the full story
Old sweets, older firm
When Bonds of London changed hands in April 2016, trade press called it one of the UK's oldest sweet businesses. Not bad for a company whose whole job is keeping people happy at a counter. The name was built on traditional British sweets, the pick'n'mix jars and hanging bags, and its best-known jars read like a school trip packed lunch: sherbet lemons, wine gums, the retro classics. If you ever argued over the last sherbet lemon, there is a fair chance Bonds started it.
New owners, same jars
The buyer was Innovative Bites, a US-foods wholesaler founded in 2008 by Vishal Madhu, in a multimillion-pound deal. Eight years old and buying one of the UK's oldest sweet businesses: that is a confident move. Managing director Philip Courtenay-Luck stayed on after the acquisition. Continuity, in other words. A year later, Innovative Bites bought pick'n'mix wholesaler Hancocks Cash & Carry in a deal worth about £100m. Somebody over there clearly likes sweets.
Rationing not required
Here is the thing about blackcurrant and liquorice. Nobody eats just one. You promise yourself a couple on the sofa, the telly goes on, and by the end of the programme the bag has been passed round, emptied and folded into a neat little square so nobody can tell. It belongs with the cinema pick'n'mix and the bag in the glovebox for long drives: small, cheerful, and gone faster than anyone will own up to.
