If you want good spicy mustard, just make your own with mustard powder or seeds, adding vinegars (you can change up the types for different flavours), salt, honey, all kinds of other things. This will also allow you to control the heat to what you like. Lots of good recipes out there, give it a try.
I'm a big fan of most any kind of mustard. Every now and then I will try and make my own. Generally the recipe ends up quite large, and it takes a while to use it all. They seem to mellow as they age.
