A hypertonic solution means a solution having more solute and less water than another solution. Examples are: corn syrup and saline and glucose solutions.

I am pretty sure it is a hypertonic solution.

A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
hypertonic and hypotonic are relative terms. A solution that is hypertonic to tap H2O could be hypotonic to seawater. In using these terms, you must provide a comparison, as in 'the solution is hypertonic to the cells cytoplasm'.
A hypertonic solution does shrink. It is when the osmotic pressure is greater than the solution that is within it.
