History

The family business began on March 18, 1862, producing rum directly from sugar cane juice. Dupré Barbancourt, a Frenchman from the cognac-producing region of Charente emigrated to Haiti, and founded his company at the end of 1862. After learning how to make rum in December of that year, he soon began selling it for HTG 1.50 (USD $0.30) per gallon.[2] His grand-daughter Jeanne Barbancourt married a German fragrance specialist, Mr. Berling. He gave his name to the company Berling SA that makes the Rhum Vieux Labbé.[3]

gollark: For the first one, the half life is 30 years and the time is 90 years. So it's 3 half lives (90/30) so its mass halves 3 times, so the mass at the end is 1\*(1/2)\*(1/2)\*(1/2)=1\*(1/2)³=0.125.
gollark: It's how long it takes for half of the atoms in a thing of radioactive isotope to decay.
gollark: Just work out how many half lives the given time is, then divide the starting mass by 2 to the power of however many half lives it is.
