Where can I buy some Cherry Bitters (the old sweets)?

So... I've been searching on and off for ages and have found nowhere to get them from or even a site that will give any leads as to where I could.

Cherry Bitters were my dad's favourite sweets when he was a kid (some 50 odd years ago), so I've been wanting to get some for him for ages and I'm tired of not finding any fruits on this one. Please help me with my search.


Note: I live in the UK, but I wouldn't mind paying for shipping costs to send it from another country if necessary.

If it isn't here, you probably won't be able to find it anywhere. There's nothing labeled "bitter", but there are sour cherry candies, and some others with other names.

Best answer: If you are looking for Regal Crown sour cherry, it's discontinued.

Response by poster: It's a real shame that they are, as everyone who ever had them has said they were the best sweet ever. But I suppose nothing can be done if they are discontinued.

Thanks for your help.
