Sag Persian Raisin Aragh offers a remarkable revival of a deeply countercultural spirit. This unique distillate traces its origins to Iran, where Aragh Sagi-a traditional raisin spirit-thrives in underground circles due to a decades-long ban. Sag bridges that distance, bringing this compelling history to a wider audience by crafting its spirit in small batches in Yonkers, New York.
The process begins with the finest natural, sun-dried Thompson seedless raisins sourced from California. Sag honors tradition by distilling the fermented fruit exclusively in small copper stills, ensuring purity and complexity. Crucially, nothing is added; the spirit's flavor profile is a direct expression of the pure raisin base. On the palate, this Aragh delivers a subtle, welcome kick, followed by a remarkably smooth, authentic raisin finish.
Sag offers a compelling differentiation from conventional base spirits. Its unique character makes it an amazing, exotic replacement for traditional vodka in cocktails, providing an unexpected depth. Whether enjoyed neat to appreciate its distinct flavor or mixed for a truly unique experience, Sag is a must-have for discerning collectors seeking heritage spirits and artisanal distillates.
