Narrative:

Clrd to land on runway 27. After landing we made the first left turn-off on taxiway oscar. When we contacted ground, they clrd us to the hangar and said 'just for your information the taxiway you just used is closed and has been notamed out of service for a couple of weeks.' we acknowledged his transmission. We checked our printout on memphis NOTAMS, listened to departure ATIS, listen to arrival ATIS and found nothing indicating the taxiway was closed. Since the ground controller did not seem to be in pleasant mood we elected not to question the matter.
