Jack Espy

Founder & CEO

Born in Denver, Colorado, and raised in Santa Barbara, California, Jack Espy currently splits his time between Nashville, Tennessee, and New York City. He has a real estate finance background, but amidst a global pandemic, a few too many homemade quarantine cocktails became a sticky—literally!—situation. He came out of quarantine with an idea inspired by many nights concocting honey-based drinks for his “hive” and embarked on a new career as the founder of Spirited Hive. Sparked by a desire to not return to the world of finance, he's poured his energy (and life savings) into creating a new line of canned cocktails, all sweetened with a bit of honey.
