Aragh Sagi (or Araq-e Sagi) is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage in Iran which contains at least 45% pure ethanol. It is usually produced at home from raisins. Its production and possession is illegal in Iran (which is the case for all alcoholic beverages). prior to 1979 revolution in Iran this product had been produced traditionally in several cities of iran. since it was outlawed after 1979 it became a black market and underground business. as a matter of fact Aragh Sagi is sort of cheap alcoholic beverage which consumers usually choose in lack of other options currently.
Aragh (also arak) generically refers to a set of aromatic liquids that are produced by distillation from herbs and seeds, for example mint or anise. Alcoholic aragh is produced from raisins. Aragh-e Sagi (Persian: عرق سگی, literally "doggy arak" from sag = dog in Persian) is a purer and stronger sort of Iranian arak distilled from raisins but without anise.
