It is a quote that was mentioned in an interview/lecture several years ago. Supposedly, the quote came from Jessie Lincoln. The comment can not be verified because the person who quoted did not hear it directly. If Jessie did make such a statement, it could have been nothing more than a snide comment coming from a granddaughter who was cut out of her grandmother's will.

Since the accounting books for Hildene have no records of purchases for whiskey, I tend to believe the statement is false.
