Help with this rare numbered bottle

[rainbow79]

Hi there whisky connoisseurs,

Just wanted to have you opinion, if possible, on this bottle I got my hands on. It's really nothing very special, but a bit rare I think. It's quite an old bottle of Johnnie Walker Swing, that one which came on a yellow box, but it strangely has sort of bottle number printed in. I've been trying to find information about such a bottle or similar ones, but found actually nothing.

Does anyone know anything about this bottle?



Thank you in advance

Just a guess but I have seen B171 before in reference to whisky bottled for the South African market here is an example https://www.whisky-onlineauctions.com/clan-campbell-12-year-old-south-african-market.html

Mmmm...interesting....then it could mean a target market, not a serial number. The strange thing is that the bottle was located in Spain, although I'm not sure about its provenance....

A bit of a mystery really. The variety was started in 1932 and Im sure there has been variations in packaging over the years.
