In the US, supermarkets that cater to the Chinese market like 99 Ranch sell them, although for the more rare brands there's Daigou who sell them on WeChat, likely smuggled from friends and family who come to visit. Then the same people buy luxury handbags and milk powder for babies and smuggle it back to China on their return trip to illegally avoid the luxury tax and sales tax in China. If you really want it, make friends with a ching-chong or see if Chinese-owned liquor stores in their areas sell them. But as I said, they're just a status symbol for Chinese boomers, businessmen, and government officals, the flavor is very chemical-tasting.
