What happens when you pick up rune, when you already have one bottled

I'm specifically refering to such situation:

Dota 2 Purge plays Bounty Hunter at (from 24:22 to 24:32)

He basically picks up Double Damage, waits a bit as he notices rune spawn time is near, then pickups Illusion. So my question is: Did the runes stacked in his bottle and he just activated Illusion to have Double Damage ready? Or perhaps bootle can store just one rune and when you pick up rune, while another one is already bootled, then it behaves like you have no bottle at all (ie: instantly activating a rune).

Best Answer

A bottle can only hold one rune at a time. As you suspected, if your bottle already contains a rune and you pick up another one, it will behave as if there is no bottle and instantly activate it.
