Somehow I knew this was going to be a difficult hunt.

Yes I know that but by the time they get it the numbers will be in the 2-3 million range.

I already have the 100k bottle and want a serial # below that.

Yes I got that, it was mostly for 1675-David, it sounded like he was going to cruise the rest of the shops in Stockholm and that's pointless at the moment.

Are you sure they make the bottles sequentially? I guess they will have 700ml bottles at Systembolaget and you have a liter bottle at the moment. Do you need one of each size in the collection?

Do you mean they work like Rolex and just throw out a number?

I asked at the Systemboladet on Vasagatan, guy said they don't stock novelty items (his words not mine) and I should have better luck on one of the Finland boats...

Was out and about the other day to p/u some 'refreshments' and took a look for that bottle.. but no luck Im afraid. When asked, the sales person only said that this was all they had. All sorts of flavours.. but Not what you're looking for......
