Shizuoka Contact S is a Japanese single malt whisky bottled at a robust 55.5% ABV. As a relatively young whisky, it is likely to show a lively, expressive style, with the higher strength giving it extra intensity and texture.
For a novice drinker, expect a bold but approachable dram that may open up well with a few drops of water. Its general profile leans toward sweet, fruity and mellow notes rather than heavy smoke or deep oak-driven character.
