Boisdale serve the very best Scottish beef traditionally and naturally reared on mineral rich Aberdeenshire pastures.  All their Scottish beef (arguably the best beef in the world) is 28 to 40 days dry aged on the bone.

Sourcing the greatest grass-fed Aberdeenshire beef is crucial to us  but equally so is the attention to detail involved in the dry ageing and the cutting. In this day and age these skills are fast being lost and the vast majority of British beef is poorly butchered, vacuum-packed and not aged on the bone, which is essential to achieve the real beef flavour that lingers for minutes on the palate. The very finest quality does come with a price, but once tasted it is undeniably worth it. Consider alone the cost of transporting and storing beef on the bone compared to “vac” packed slabs of meat, cut in the abattoir immediately after slaughter. Great beef is very labour and capital intensive. There are also so many shortcuts in the beef industry and even “Scottish” could simply mean that the cattle was “finished” in Scotland for the last three months. All the beef supplied to Boisdale is from the very best certified beef suckler herds of Aberdeenshire.

During this event you will be tasting 28 & 50 day dry aged  Scottish beef cuts: sirloin, fillet, rump, hanger and rib-eye
