The Bleeding Heart Rum Company

The Bleeding Heart Rum Company is the Philippine distillery founded by Stephen Carroll in 2012, known for creating the famous Don Papa Rum. Production takes place on the island of Negros, one of the most fertile areas best suited for sugarcane cultivation, from which the molasses used for their rum is sourced. The company is distinguished by its focus on quality and aging in oak barrels, which imparts aromatic complexity and smoothness to the product. The rums from The Bleeding Heart Rum Company are characterized by sweet and enveloping profiles, with notes of vanilla, caramel, fruit, and spices, and are accompanied by a highly curated visual identity, with artistic and collectible labels that have helped make Don Papa an iconic brand in the international premium spirits landscape.
