I need to try this Baijiu, can any recommend some you can get in the States?

  One of the most popular/famous brands of baijiu is Maotai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maotai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maotai). You might be able to find it near you by checking wine/liquor search sites (e.g. https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/kwei+chow+mou+tai+bai+jiu/1/usa-ny https://www.wine-searcher.com/find/kwei+chow+mou+tai+bai+jiu... ). I lived in China for about a year - personally baijiu was never my favorite, but certainly give it a whirl! Baijiu certainly has a strong and particular flavor - however I'd say that taste is no more shocking than, for example, comparing the tastes of rum to tequilla. Ganbei (cheers)!

  As someone currently in China, this comment made me laugh. I don’t think I have ever craved it. That said, you should try it anyway. I hope you like getting drunk. Personally, the flavor reminds me closer to the chemical alcohol you might find in a science lab more than anything else. It typically starts at 40 proof and goes up from there.

    Man that sounds awful, but I still have to try it. Why is it the most popular liquor on the planet (according to this article)? No one seems to be saying anything good about it.
