Are there not any purveyors of specialty glassware in your area, Dan? Though these sorts of establishments do tend to charge a premium, it's sometimes worth plunking down the extra bucks to have access to a broader selection of quality glasses.

Also (as mentioned above), I'd recommend you keep an eye open for glasses that feature a slight outward flare at the rim. I know this runs contrary to the design of the Glencairn (which possesses a rather straight to very slightly inward cant at its rim), but I personally find that the outward flare helps in terms of better delivering the inherent malt sweetness of any whisky to the palate.

Oh, yes... Always worth checking out antique stores as well as local Salvation Army (or other used merchandise) outlets. You just never know what you'll come across. To illustrate, I recently came across a couple of small glasses (shaped exactly like those Cognac glasses pictured above, but tinier) at a local store - $2 for the pair.
