As Scott embraced life in the Loire Valley, he became enchanted by its beauty and traditions. Among its treasures, one stood out: La Distillerie Combier, an iconic distillery nestled along the banks of the Loire River.

His fascination grew with each visit, and when his brothers, Ryan and Curt, joined him, a new vision emerged: bringing Combier’s story and spirits to North America.

That vision gave rise to CNI Brands. What began as an idea has since grown into a leading boutique spirits importer, representing high-quality artisanal brands from around the world.
